The Landlord

I am working with a graphic designer trying to figure out what graphics to put on my boat and am having a hard time seeing something that I like. I am doing a full wrap of the entire boat. Does anyone have any pics of some cool boats, either painted or vinyl, that they could share? I have been through every pic on this site and haven't found what I am looking for. Please post. Thanks.

trouble with a lot of vinyl wrap designers is they rely on mostly clip art stuff. All mine are tailored to fit working with the boats existing shape and features, all original and NO clip art or bundled graphics. Have you found anything along a particular style that comes close? what kind of boat?

I have not been able to find very many boats that are as extreme as I would like to go. I am wanting to stay away from any factory looks, etc. We do want alot of bright colors and crazy graphics though. Even with the clipart, it is very hard to tell the designer what look I am going for because I am not sure myself. I have a 33' fountain executioner. Do you have any pics of boat that you have done in the past?

you are going to have use wrap artwork for the most part....you can't just take something from a picture as use it...the resolution will not be there and will look like crap !! we have specific backgrounds that we use for wraps then graphics can be added to that, more on a personal touch..that wil be fine, and things you find of the ineternet are not very good either.....no high resolution there....you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay a wrap designer to get the look you want...and that can be $$$$ depending on the amount of time involved..usually $80-125 per hour design time....next case...

I have 21ft Chris Craft Scorpion, not nearly the job yours would be, but it is getting its wrap finished up as we speak. I starting looking around back in January, found the design I wanted and it took until now to get it done. I wanted a tribal design to go onto it. Even once I found something I kind of liked I put 10-12 hours into making my own changes and playing with it in photoshop CS3. I changed colors numerous time but ended up with exactly what I was looking for. It may not be everyone's taste because it is tribal. But I love it. When I get it back tonight or tomorrow I will take some pics and post them so you can get an idea. Luckily I bring the company alot of business so they only charged me T&M on the install and just a little bit for removal of the current 10+ year old decal that was on the boat when I bought it.

Here's a thread I started 1 year ago on this same subject. It is hard to find the right graphic for your boat with so many choices....
In the end I was very happy with my choice and spent about $2000 total (vinyl and install)...IMO its important to pay a pro to install the larger vinyl so you know its done right.
