    I was just wondering if anyone knows where i could find rolls and other supplies for shrink wrapping my boat. I know that West Marine sells a kit but i know there are cheaper places somewhere. I am looking to wrap the boat this winter to take on another project. The deck is going to come out the fuel tank replaced and put down a new deck. I was also wondering what would be the best material i should use for the core of the deck i was thinking of using a balsa core and using a polyresin and matting to seal the top and bottom then awl grip the whole top side. Any advice would be great.

    Yeeah, I guessed that.

    Where the links helpfull? The difficulty with not knowing where somebody lives is when you find a supplier on the web, it can be on the other side of the world for the guy looking!
