I have done vinyl graphics twice now in the past 5 years.
A local sign shop did them for me. About $1000 installed each time. The nice thing is, you can quickly change the look of your boat. The bad thing is the vinyl can get damaged by rubbing on fenders, docks, other boats etc.....

well for sure wrap is way cheaper than paint.... but im thinking the prices will very depending on how its done, which shop does it,,, and the theme.....

I saw the 48 MTi (terminator) cat at desert storm (2010) at the street party on display,, and it was wrapped... not painted... we could feel it under the sponsons,, however thats an extreme example of how great the wrap can look if done by the best..... But from what ive been told,, if the wrap is done correctly, its alot cheaper and wil last for years...

good luck!

It was not a boatwraping, it was only a colorchange.

I did it by my self for under $100,-
The vinyl are only over the old strips.

First idea was make the stripes in navy gray, than we used white.




only other decals change a boat opitc for small money
