We have a 24' Rhino Shelter round style that we put up last year and we stored our 19' Yamaha in it all winter and it worked perfectly. No shrink wrap, just full gas tank and fuel stabilizer and blew out the water from the jet.

No critter control?

BTW: Talk to your people:
2 boats almost hit me at the docks this year, both Yamahas

I used a shelter-logic type structure for many years. I advise against shrink-since it will reduce ventilation. Open it up on warmer days for the same reason.

Get one long enough to include the trailer tongue so you don't have to remove it or cut the front of the shelter.

Good luck!

I like this idea. I was going to wrap it but it seems counterproductive.
What are all of the tactics you are using for critter control?

I’m told we should use everything and then some:
Dryer sheets, crushed mothballs, peppermint spray, traps, voodoo hexes, etc
I will probably spray the trailer with a really thick coat of Boeshield to keep it slippery, too

Nothing works forever but peanut butter on rat traps will work the best with mice and chipmunks. If it's warm weather though, the ants may get to it first and you'll wonder "how'd them varmints get it so clean and not get dead?"
