Looks like a nice wrap job, down to the waterline and vents....nice..
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.

Nice that it goes to the waterline... eliminates having those streaks from where the runoff leaves the shrink. I always have to polish that out in the spring.

Can't believe how much room they give you around the boats!! I'm jealous!!!

They pack ours in like sardines!!! There's usually no more than 12" between boats (sometimes much less) and a lot of times the bow of one boat sits as far OVER the next boat in front as they can get it!!

They really do. I am very happy with their work. The way they did it makes a potential April 3rd launch very possible.

That pic makes me a little sad. BUT, focus on the beautiful spring day when the wrap comes off. It does help me appreciate the warm storage I am in. 50F feels pretty darn warm when it is 0 outside in January. Not cheap, but when you factor in savings from winterizing, shrinkwrap, etc, it is only a couple hundred more. It is worth the extra to be able to go have a beverage in the cockpit in the dead of winter. APRIL 3 launch????????? Last season, as I was cruising from launch point to marina, I was literally dodging ice chunks. That was May 7th. If I were to launch April 3, I would be dodging fish shanty's and trucks. Good for you Rick! It is amazing how different the weather patterns are in just a 100 miles. Are we having fun yet?
