Build a wood dock box for it.
White ASA is supposed to be more UV resistant, but I would still cover it.

And put that box on or beneath the dock. It looks from last year's dock photos that there may be room beneath the decking.

Secure several wood pallets, create a hollow between the top and bottom layers, add additional lumber to create a sunscreen. Use clear fin washers.

If this is the ASA bic uses, it sounds pretty durable.

UPF vs SPF. Seems like NASA started UPF. For those interested.

This is where I loose it. Add in Westenders ventilation gap and I’m going bowling.

Make a board box, use your lake water to supply the intercooler and with a fan system the board will not be damaged. Idea Or just the box and a solar fan.

For the roof material like this. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/insulation/foam-board-insulation/johns-manville-foil-faced-polyiso-foam-insulation-4-x-8/w-n5050/p-1444438920894.htm

I’m going to dig a cavern under the lakebed Westender. Surely no electromagnetic radiation can get there. Wait...those damn neutrinos!

I’m going to do a light breathable cover over the semi- bombproof white ASA. Maybe measure temps.

The Ace-tec construction has 2 layers of fiberglass over the EPS then ASA.
