So the story goes... we have a graphics company do 60 or so wraps on trailers for our 100 year celebration.
Long story short. Free. I helped put the metallic black wrap on that took us a day. So all they have left is to finish up the install and put the vinyl cut graphics on. We probably spent north of 200k for our trailers so he basically threw it in. It started as getting vinyl for cost price, but they ended up throwing that in especially after I helped in putting th wrap on.
I think he thought I would just watch, but power boaters dont know how to watch!!!!!!! He was impressed at my efforts and now he wants to print a wrap and do it again in a couple years!!

Ok, so my graphics guy texted on monday a.m. And said they would be done friday. Great.. An hour later, he calls me and starts conversation like this..."man, I hate to make these calls". HA, several thoughts go through my head, first, was if someone ran into my boat with a forklift... I then thought.. awesome, boat shopping!!
Nope, he says, his supplier supposedly shipped the wrong vinyl, that we applied already.
Well, we get to wrap it again tomorow. Hopefully we can actually finish b/c we figured out how to lay it down well last time. The new cast metallic black looks better than the calendered we put on the first time.
In the mean time, I bought some more bumpers and was searching for some good fleece bumper covers. 25-$40 a piece!! Screw that, I went to Joanns and bought $25 worth of material and made my own!!

So we made some progress today.. Rewrapped both sides and have most of graphics on. Just missing another white X.
The new black metallic looks cool and the red really stands out!
