One step onto a boat retailer lot in Winnipeg and you’ll notice that nearly every pontoon has been boarded and is being inspected by serious buyers and tire-kickers (err…pontoon-kickers) alike. The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) recently stated that sales of pontoon boats were up nearly 48 percent for 2020, and coming into 2021 they accounted for 50 percent of new powerboats sold. Thanks to their versatility and entry-level price points pontoons sales are expected to remain at historic levels through the year ahead. Manufacturers are reporting a backlog of orders that they need to fill from last annum.
Pontoon boats are a hot commodity at the moment, and whether you’re an individual or retail seller, or manufacturer, you need to protect this precious asset. If storing in and/or transporting from the Greater Winnipeg area you can secure your watercraft with KCM Shrink Wrap. Here’s why.
WHY CHOOSE KCM SHRINK WRAP FOR TRANSPORTING OR STORING PONTOONS IN/FROM THE GREATER WINNIPEG AREA
Protects All Parts and Components
It may seem like pontoons are very sturdy and at less risk of damage than other types of powerboats in addition to sailboats. They can be, but there are more parts and components than most people realize. These include the following:

- Rail risers
- Sidelights
- Decking and cleats
- Aluminum braces
- Aluminum hat cross-channels
- Seating
- Deck ladder
- Attachment strapping
- Bimini tops
- Pontoon fenders
- Pontoons
Whether storing/transporting fully assembled, partially assembled, or disassembled, you need to an all-encompassing protection system that will keep harmful elements from compromising all of the items listed above. KCM Shrink Wrap provides exactly that. Keep reading.
Far Superior to Pontoon Covers
Pontoon covers are absolutely adequate for short term storage and recreational transport. However, when storing the watercraft for weeks, or transporting it on a flatbed, via a trailer, or in a large container, pontoon covers are not good enough. They protect only the upper-half of the boat and leave the motor, pontoons, strapping, and undercarriage exposed and vulnerable to damage. And even then, the covers can easily be taken-off by criminals who can steal parts and return the cover to leave the end-recipient none-the-wiser until they take the cover off at a later date.
KCM Shrink Wrap however, covers the entire pontoon from top to bottom in 8-12 millimeter, air-tight, heat-sealed polyethylene wrap. The system is 100% weatherproof, deters pest and rodent infestation in addition to criminal mischief, and is even fire-retardant.
