Shrink wrap tape is what people who shrink wrap boats use on seams and weak points when shrink wrapping. I always use on my Bimini and front cover when I am on the highway (not around town but towing +1 hr) 1 roll of tape will last years. U don't have to worry about covers coming off. Trick from delivery guy at lodder marine (cobalt dealer in cinci)

Good thought. It might be hard for him to get a hold of though. The other bad thing if it's waxed really good the tape might not stick to anything.

The boat is not detailed yet. Should stick!

She's in Kansas baby.

Working on cover issue.
Need a little more tape I think to keep the air from getting under it.

Well I decided to postpone delivery to 8 AM.
Yeah midnight would've been cool.
I would just like to see everything in the daylight to make sure there's no damage from the long voyage.

Josh has assured me it's perfect

3.5 hours away!

Josh and truck are doing great. He communicates a few times a day. Great shipper so far.
No issues at all.
Hoping deer stay out of his way.
