Cover On Towing

[FPCC]

Has anyone tried putting a few layers of Saran Wrap all the way around your boat where the cover touches and often rubs? Good idea? Bad idea?

Saran Wrap? Haven't heard that one in 20 years.... I know people tried that way back when but zero success and high cost. I have heard of people using shipping wrap which would be the same concept but with more of an industrial version with success. Most times I hear of people going to this length is when they're doing a one off or cross country vacation trip.....

Haha yes shipping wrap is what i was thinking. We are going from northern Utah to Powell. We carry a bit of stuff in the boat so we like to have the cover on to keep things from blowing out, but we have had some rubbing issues. Any one have any other advise?

I tow my boat with the cover on all the time. Just today, I completed a ten-hour drive from North Carolina to Lake Erie with the cover on. Ran through a couple of rain storms. No damage at all from the cover.

Boat OCD knows no bounds. Why is that a thing? I know lots of dudes freakin' out. For something that is on water, sun, banging against docks, etc ... yikes.
Not like a green lambo garage queen, controlled environment, OCD stands a chance.

Any cover rub would be easy to polish out. Having said that a boat is a lot of surface area, cleats and snaps, I hate working on them vs a car

I use the shipping wrap like posted above. Works great! Got sick of having to polish the rub marks out of black gelcoat. If it were white or a lighter color, I would probably not...
