Give Ryan Beckley a shout at this link http://kineticanimation.com[/url]to see if he does this type of graphics. His web sight shows wraps. I met him a few years back at a Hot Toddy Run on Long Island and he let me grab a seat for the run, and it was a great ride on his 24 Skater. After that ride I had to get one Too . This is my 24 Skater

Pretty sure he does. Saw this over on OSO.




Ryan's also a member here too.

Definatly get someone who has done a bunch. I don't personally do wraps, but I have been in the sign/vinyl business for about damn lets see 22yrs now.(Man I 'm getting old). We do a ton of printing and edge seal as well. Even with overlaminate the inks still only have a 3 to 5 year life expectancy. The lam does help with abrasion, and the edge seal will help the edges, but near the waterline the vinyl will come off. Start looking aroung at some older wrap jobs. I think after you do you will lean towards a paint job. For $4000 you should be able to get something pretty nice.

How do they make those huge decals? It must take a huge printer to print stuff big enough for the side of a tractor tailler!

Waynes Signs in St Mary's county does it also and they are local. I talked to them about it and they said no problem. They would take a picture of your boat, upload it to the computer and start designing something you wanted or give them an idea and they take it from there. They can show you what it looks like on the boat before its done. Give them a call. Tim

Thanks for the info! I will give him a call and see about wrapping this boat.I am sure I want to go this route.Thanks

They do the semis and big wraps in strips. 6' or 8' plotters then they overlap them a little bit (a couple of inches). You can't see it until you get right up close.
