It’s only April! Why wrap now,” you may be wondering. This is a very good question! The summer months are the peak months for boat use, so why prepare it for long-term storage now? There’s still plenty of sunshine and heat to enjoy out on New Mexico’s beautiful lakes in the boat, so it doesn’t make sense to store it until the weather starts to get cooler. While this may be true, there are extenuating circumstances that might force a boat owner to wrap it for storage during the summer. For example, extended travel might be one cause. By wrapping the boat now, the owner will avoid long-term damage to the boat from UV rays. As we all know, the intense sunshine we get in New Mexico can be very damaging to items left outdoors (think of the number of times wood decks, gates, or fences need to be sanded and refinished, as they are a prime example of the damaging effects of excessive sunshine).
Another reason to wrap in the summer is the fact that the school year begins tomorrow for students in Albuquerque, meaning that families will have less free time to take the boat out to the lake for the weekend. Homework is now a factor in play. Families who know they have less time to spend time outdoors may choose to wrap and store their boats now, in anticipation of this.
Finally, some may choose to wrap now simply because their boat is stored outside, and as we discussed above, outdoor storage must be done carefully to avoid damage caused by sunshine, wind, rain, and dirt. Objects stored with exposure to the elements must be cared for rigorously to be properly maintained.
