we have been doing wraps for several years now.. the top deck you have to be careful walking over it especially when real warm, I would say no shoes, even over laminated wrap(which needs to be) also artwork plays into the cost as well, as is the complexity of the job itself, sharp curves, cerevis etc, also what needs to be removed, cleats, lights etc....but off the top of my head I would say 1500-2000...Rob @ E-Z Sign Design...

How about a rough idea on how much to wrap a 32' Sunsation? Not looking for the deck...just the hull to update appearance.

ya know Ryan I was lookin at the stripes on your boat while it was in my shop and was thinkin what it would look like with just a color change on the exhisting graphics

I did a color change a few years ago on a 2? foot Baja where we took the pink and teal and swaped them for a grey (fleckstone lookin custom) and a yellow/orange fade and i think some purple and it took 15 years off the boat real quick.

hey, we also wrap boats. The very rough cost would be around eighteen dollars per square foot, but that can vary depending on artwork and removal of existing cleats, etc

I had my boat wrapped and it was the best $ Ive spent on her (so far)....
Took it from this:


To this:






Cost me $1300 for the vinyl and $700 to have it installed--Total of $2000 for a 25 foot boat.

That's a thought too....will have to start looking to squeeze that into the budget.
