Have a fairly new 2014 Triton 21XS, Want to keep her that way. Looking at getting a simple, but nice wrap. Who do you recommend and I am looking for the Pro's and Con's of a wrap.

From what I hear the only 2 options you should consider are Rockwall Wraps and Tyler Wrap Co.
I have had some bad experience from other shops when trying to get some truck logo stuff done a while back.

Can can expect to change it every year or two if you fish in the timber. Millinium Wrap in Austin are really reasonable and should be in your area.

Tyler Wrap Company sure had a lot of boats being represented at tbe Bass Master Classic going across the stage wrapped by Bobby Conley. Not just a great company but genuine people who care about their product. I'd say reach out to the Pros you name it - Yamaha Pros & Brandon Palanuik & Mark Davis the list goes on and on and every year the boat total at the classic goes up for Tyler Wrap. They don't drive hundreds and thousands of miles for anybody they make that drive for Tyler Wrap.
But not talking down to any of these companies in the area I just know if The Pros want them I want them to wrap mine. His designs is all out of his head and not templates doesn't like his designs to match another.

I got my boat done and absolutely love it but if you fish tournaments you have to be a little careful with it..... Especially on a lake like Falcon....

On my third wrapped boat.
Pros: Protects the finish, looks cool if you have a nice design, promotes your sponsors well
Cons: They do get scratched fairly easily if you bump stumps or docks. Its hard to see the imperfections from a distance but you know they're there. It is costly to have done properly. Average is $2000-$2500. If your sponsor will pay for it, do it. If not, don't.
The installers use a razor knife to trim the excess when they are installing the wrap. The first company left deep cuts into the gelcoat on my boat that I did not see until I had it removed. They were not able to buff them out, too deep. So the very thing that I felt would preserve the finish and help resale actually Hurt the resale on my boat. I would not use them again.
The next company used a vinyl that was much thinner and easier to scratch than the company that left razor cuts on my boat. I would not use them again.
If you want some additional info, PM me.
