Cumberland Shine& Wrap

October through mid-December

Wrap it while the fair days are still here.

We seal houseboats and pontoons in the slip. Vents stay in. You can still get aboard if we zip a door. The photos show the whole boat, not a corner of film.

How a wrap day goes

Same order every time. We do not skip the dry-down because the light is going.

  1. 01

    Book the window

    Tell us the marina, the slip, and the length. October is when the fair days start to disappear.

  2. 02

    Wash and dry

    Film sticks to a clean, dry boat. Wrapping dirt just traps it until spring.

  3. 03

    Frame and film

    Poles where water would pool. Heat the film tight. Vents so the boat can breathe.

  4. 04

    Photo the whole boat

    You see bow to stern under the film before we leave. If a vent is missing, it is still our problem.

Why the wrap is vented

A sealed boat sweats. Warm days turn a closed hull into a mildew box, and then spring is a sad surprise.

We cut round marine vents high on the film so air can move and rain still sheds. The shape of the boat stays visible. Support poles keep water from sitting in a belly of plastic.

Canvas is a separate conversation. Wet bimini and camper enclosures do not go under film. We take the panels off, or we leave them open to air. Ask us before you leave the canvas up and drive home.

Winterize, on this crew, means lines, the head if she has one, and a battery checklist. It does not mean we rebuild an outboard in the slip. If something sounds wrong, we say so before the film goes on.
