Does anyone have before and after pics of their boat wrapped. Also were you happy with the result? Considering wrapping my boat,
just need some input. Thanks!!

I do but I am out of the country and don't have access, I was thrilled with the results!

Looks great! Couple questions though: how many years/ seasons do you expect the wrap to be presentable until you have to replace it? Also has anyone put one on their boat and then removed it after it had been on for years? Can the hull be restored to gel coat if someone wanted to without a ton of work? Cost?

The few boats I've seen with them, they don't seem to hold up or last more than a couple seasons before chunks of the vinyl are missing and having large tears and cracks.

Looks great Dave. How is it holding up??

Tough question to answer since we only did it last season... I am very very careful as to what touches the boat (dock, bumpers, people, cleaning products etc.) so as long as I do my part it should last a long time. On our particular wrap once we saw the metallic films in the sunlight we were sold they look simply amazing which you cannot see in these pics. To use these films though they cannot "print" our design on it as they usually do using one big piece that is laid down the side of the boat. Ours is made up of individual pieces with the gel coat (white) showing in between each color. If an area is ever damaged we can simply replace the individual piece in theory.

We wrapped the fastest v bottom...
No lifting and zero issues at 182 mph...
It all depends on the installation and their experience etc...

Seek out reputable wrap shops /installers not sign shops.....
