Intend to store the toon on blocks in our back yard for the winter. We live in Wisc. and normally get alot of snow. Is it worth building some type of frame to set on or over the boat and then tarp it? Just use the std. toon canvas cover we got with the boat? Or maybe best to pay to have it bubbled wrapped? Thanks

Before I had out boat barn built I used the factory cover and over that had a 20X30 plastic tarp. It came down past side panels so no water got in boat. The only problem I had was the poles that cam with boat were so small after ice storm the weight pushed them through the factory cover. I made new ones from pvc pipe, concrete, and empty plastic coffee cans.
Also my tanning pad in back seemed to hold water so I made and A frame to rest on pad to keep it up and shedding.
they are made from 1" PVC with 3/4" inside to make them adjustable. I used SS bolts to pin proper height
