Vinyl boat wrap
 
I'm looking to wrap my boat does anyone have a recommend anyone who does it in the north east? Or a company that sells a kit? I'm not too familiar with this and am open to any suggestions or advice thanks...

Pm 502ss, he does them. In about 5 min he put together something I really liked on a picture. I just need to get my wallet to agree now!

Where are you located? And I would not look for a do it yourself kind of thing. A buddy of mine just got a Baja 250 done. Looks great but it was alot of work!!!

Go to someone that has done a boat before. Little things, like starting from the rear and layering each piece over the last one, are things that you don't have to worry about when wrapping a car or truck but do on a boat or the wrap will peel off.

There are many grades of wrap too. Some will look shiny and like paint while others are dull.

If you do opt to do this yourself make sure you have a heat gun and some help. You'll want to pre prep by taping it on with masking tape. put it on with soapy water and a small squeegees. start from the stern. and be sure to have a good relationship with the guy that made the wrap because you'll need replacements of one or more of the sections after you screw it up.

A buddy of mine had a company in Florida wrap his 37' CC boat and they did a great job! The design they came up with looked awesome. I know you said you are in the North East, but they will come to you to install it as they did with my buddy. The name of the company is http://www.signzoo.com/ My buddies boat is on their web page photo gallery. It's the CC in the middle of the top row, 2nd page of the Offshore photo gallery. You would be happy if you went with them. Good luck.

I was curious about Vinyl wraps also. What is the going rate on a 38 ? I found a nice boat but, the paint job is not my taste at all.

Well to give you an idea , We wrap most of the boat we sell . I can design something very cool in less then an hour . To do a wrap on a 22' boat in standard film is around $4000 . To do that same boat in the new chrome or gold is about $10000 . Does this help with you decision making ? We can design you something , bring boat to NC and drive back the next day with your new colors .

wow, more than I thought, are you talking just the hull sides or the whole boat?
