Shrinkwrap is an insanely expensive throw away item for outdoor storage. BUT, the damage and repair costs (nevermind the uv damage) are greatly minimized or eliminated when wrapped.

Your question is sort of like my pondering. I could inside store my boat for about 3600 or outside for 1400. So I had to cost and compare the extra 400 for wrapping totaling 1800 versus 3600 for inside (although not heated). Its all about how much you want to preserve the boat and not have a hassle next spring.

I found taking the dehumidifier from the basement to the boat and running it for a week totally dried out the inside of the boat after wrapping eliminating any mold, smell issue for the entire winter.
