The expense associated with encasing a pontoon boat in protective plastic film for storage or transport involves several factors. This process safeguards the vessel from environmental damage, such as snow, rain, and UV exposure, which can lead to deterioration of the boat’s upholstery, flooring, and overall structure. The final price is typically determined by the boat’s dimensions, the quality of the shrink wrap material used, and labor charges incurred during the application.
Protecting a pontoon boat using this method yields numerous advantages. It minimizes the risk of water damage, prevents the buildup of mold and mildew, and shields against fading caused by prolonged sun exposure. Historically, owners relied on tarps or uncovered storage, which proved less effective and often resulted in increased maintenance needs and depreciation of the boat’s value. This proactive approach can significantly extend the lifespan and maintain the aesthetic appeal of the vessel.
