Winterization & Shrink-Wrapping

Serving Roscoe, IL Since 1978

Boat shrink wrap can help with seasonal weatherization of newly manufactured boats or those that are placed in storage. A boat that has been shrink-wrapped can be transported with a reduced risk of damage from road or weather conditions.

Boat shrink wrap is 100% recyclable! It allows you to protect your boat without any negative impact on the environment. Every year, clients across the Stateline Area come to D&S Marine to wrap a variety of boats, water toys, and other items from harsh weather and debris. It is a popular and affordable means of winterizing your valuable commodities.
