Start to the season for me!
 

FINALLY got the boat down to the water on Saturday's high tide.
I printed the wrap on Thursday night....installed it thanks to my buddy Walter on friday and was in the water on Saturday! Looks so much better than the dull blue gelcoat that exists underneath it.

Looks SWEET Billy!!! Nice work and see you out there soon I'm sure.

You haven't missed much. ;)

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

Yea...I know. Was out yesterday with 2 keeps. Found fish...but lost the bite.

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

Saw your boat at Brown's in person... You have an amazing sled there!! Love the wrap, nice job.

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

That's freakin awesome, do you do the wraps and stuff, wouldn't mind a quote for a 20' hydrasport cc, more off though the cowling top for a 97 Johnson if that's even possible to do...

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

Yup...its what I do for a living =)
I had fun doing this again...lost the 'cat in Sandy and my daughter was bugging me why her name wasn't on the boat yet!

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

bill how does the artwork part of the wrap work? Like u would need a picture or some actual artwork in a certain file? I have a newer boat Im repainting in the fall to look like a 2014 (aluminum boat) and there is this mad fish graphic and brand name I need made up. Id rather give the business to a NJF'er than a stranger........thanks

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

We could definitely design something up for ya. I thought about making mine look like wood planking at one point....lol. Just need to throw out some ideas and see what we can come up with. Its definitely a creative process.

Nice!

Where is she- Keyport by the looks. Maybe see her when Sea Tow tomorrow if in area.

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

Thanks....yes she is at Browns in Keyport. Heading out tomorrow to fish in the AM.

How much does a wrap run , i like the wrapping , how does it hold up the the elements , do u need to wax over it ??

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

A full wrap runs a couple thousand dollars...no joke. Mine would probably go for 3-3500....no joke. 32ft boat...64+ ft of material and printing to install.

It holds up really well actually. Once sealed around the edges and all... Soft brush it all the time...NO power washing at all.

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

I saw your boat last week and thought, what an awesome paint job. After reading this post, I realized that you owned the cat that I admired so much every time I looked at it. I then looked.through my pics on my phone and came up with this. I wanted to share it, hopefully not to upset you, but to show others how you replicated the old graphics and the tradgic loss.

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

HAHAHA.....thats a memory for sure! Hey, overall its a TOY and I paid for insurance for it. Replaceable...and a much nicer toy this time around I have to say. No worries on bringing that image up.
Funny but the before and after NOAA satellite image shows it in Keyport upside down as well.
This boat I went more for the color and all and didnt put my company logo onto the hull. I like it much better this way.

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

I am happy that are better off now. I fortunately brought my boat home.days before the storm, but was so hear broken seeing carnage of your boat and others. I'll introduce myself if I see you at the dock.

Hey Capt Bill

Were you out Saturday? West bound in the PM around TC buoy?

Was off in the Sea Tow boat in Chapel Hill and thought I saw your great work?

Re: Start to the season for me!
 

That was me! We just wrapped up the day over at TC area.
