Missing my heated garage, but it is what it is and what it is is time to wrap the boat for the winter.

I wrapped it last year and it went fine. Just borrowed a buddy's old propane torch wand. Said buddy has lost said torch and I'm just going to buy my own. But there's torches running from 50,000 to 5000,000 btu. Anyone ever wrap a boat a know a boat wrapper who can recommend a torch btu range? I don't want to delam the fiberglass with one pass, but I also don't want to spend 12 hrs shrinking 20' of 7 mil wrap.

The Ripack gun we use is 260,000 btu but we drop it down a touch so I'd stick with something around 200k.
