guys i have question if doing a wrap on older boat. would it be more feesable to just repaint gelcoat. just trying get some ideas. or will the wrap cover the old look and make it look new agin. and who would be a good company to have do this. keep in mind i have restored everything in this boat thanks for inputs.

To me it makes more sense to put the 2k and your boat towards a new boat

yes it does but at this day and time i like no payments

I agree with the no payment fully. But it really doesn't make sense to me to toss the money at a temporary finish on a boat that you will never get a return on

Wet sand or spray new gel coat at least these will last and get some return on them

But if your willing and want it Go for it It's your boat and money and the only person you got to make happy is yourself

yes thats my dilema i just dont know what it look like with wrapp on it never had any experience wrapping older boat.. im looking into wet sanding and refinishing it to thats why questions thanks for your input

if you get a wrap for $2k, it's going to be low quality material. Secondly, that money could be well spent elsewhere like an electronics upgrade? You got a Hbird 1198 ? Get the 360 Solar!

Thought about the same thing myself. Had some oxidation to get rid of. Ended up wet sanding and it looks much better now. Cost was minimal compared to wrapping. Did this on a boat I have put new carpet, trollwell, electronics, batteries, trolling motor and pumps. Feels great doing it myself and feels like new again. Best part, NO PAYMENTS.

You wet sanded the gelcoat? If so, what grit & type of sandpaper?

I wet sanded using an 800 grit first and then a 1200 grit. It brought the shine back on a very oxidized boat. Make sure to put a really good coat of carnuba wax on after the sanding. I , too, was looking into the wraps. The wet sanding was extremely inexpensive. All you need is water, a sanding block and the sand paper. The paper and block are avaulable at any hardware or automotive store. Less than $25 bucks, but a lot of elbow work.

i had a 93 skeeter that was heavily oxidized. wet sanded and put on new decals. turned out awesome. and cheap.

ALWAYS GO the 'NO PAYMENT' ROUTE !!!!!

I wonder if anyone has ever had had their boat rhino lined on the outside.

Seems like if it would adhere to the fiberglass, it would be great for rubbing stumps and such. Not sure how it would displace water when on full plane, if any change at all.

Think I like this idea.....Any insight guys?
