Wally Marshall has a company in Lubbock that does excellent work. I think I would have to call it the best I have seen in Texas. http://signsonthego.comYo Roger Bacon ... good to see you posting old friend!

BSG did my wrap been on for 4 years no problems. I have fished all over bumping trees,stumps,docks no problems yet had one small tear but that came from rebar in a stump. Partner had the same wrap same company no problems either. They did all the art work and install took 2 weeks for both boats.

I had a gunnel wrap put on mu boat 3 years ago and it is still good. Had it done at Leon's Signs on the loop in Tyler. I have saw other wraps they have done and all look great. Give Bobby Connley a call he will take good care of you at a good price.

Thanks guy's for the info. Ken I'm calling you tomorrow. I'm at fork and will be home tomorrow evening. That is good information. I do want mine for marketing my bait's as well as my ac company. I want something that will last as long as possible. My bait's and ac logo and info won't change that much. And if you were guiding or fishing where sponsors mattered I could see changing wraps every year your two. Thanks again for the information! JB

Striker graphics did mine this year looks great. usally can get couple years out of wrap and they can always be touched up if tear or peeling starts. I would say cost is around 2500.00 for wrap.

I would really just want to protect the boat more than advertise.

I got mine wrapped to protect the gel coat which was starting to crack a little, turned out a few companies i pro staff for wanted to advertise and ended up getting it all paid for and also get money every year for it as well. Even then i didnt go crazy with it in terms of advertising all over it. I got a good deal and i am protecting the boat. If i hadnt gotteni tpaid not sure i would have done it.

 One year. Ripped it on a stump the 2nd time out. Started peeling, one side redone. A few nicks and such, still looks great until you get right up to it and look close. Didn't pay but was told cost would have been about 2 K for design, boat and trailer. I helped with the design. Told the graphic design guy the elements and logos I needed and he did the background. We tweaked it over about a 2 week period. Took a month from start to finish. Getting vector graphics from sponsors took about a week. Then 3 to design and install. My boat is 10 years old. Gelcoat was starting to oxidize and fade. It was either a wrap or a sand and re-clear job. Looks much better now. But, if I was paying, I don't think I would do it again. I expect only 2 years out of the wrap. That's the way it is. I plan on getting a new boat next year so this was a good way to help sponsors who support my business while getting me through until then. I will have a wrap on my new boat. If only to protect it from the elements. Texas sun can be brutal. Looks good Roger. Is that a Bullet underneath?
