Hull wrap on 300 Sundancer

[Lake Luv Kentucky]

While my boat is dry docked and having a few things done, I decided to update the old girl. I spent a considerable amount of time using rubber eraser wheels in the drill to remove the factory pinstripes at the water line. My buddy does vinyl wraps and has done a few boats, he seals the edges for boats to make them waterproof. In addition I also used poliGlow and applied

10 coats over the wrap to make sure. I will include a few before and after shots prior to putting it back in the water.

Looks great! Lots of boats wrapped here in Florida....

Thank you! I think I might be the first here in my little lake community in Kentucky. KY is always a few years behind the curve lol.

Very nice! What's a wrap like that cost?

 

[Lake Luv Kentucky]

My guy charged me $700 for vinyl and $600 for labor, so not bad when I got quotes for new gel coat of 5-6k

Wow! Probably the best value in boating I have seen. Looks great.

Wow, that's looks great! How much work / time did it take to apply the Poli Glow?

I assume your friend gave you a hefty discount, for that price I would bring mine from Florida to Kentucky to get it wrapped!

How long does vinyl last on a boat hull?

 

[Lake Luv Kentucky]

Poli glow is pretty fast to apply took about 3hrs per side, my vinyl guy says the wrap should last a few years. Do not poliGlow before a wrap FYI or it wont stick! Im thinking with the extra protection I can squeeze a little extra lifespan out of it. Who knows when I'm tired of it I can change it to grey or red, its like a new boat every few years lol.

I wrapped my 360 with 3M vinyl. It had 3 years on it when i sold the boat and it looked like new. It has a 10 year warranty on the material itself. It was far more durable than i expected. Just use soft bumper covers and don't hit things and you'll be good. My wrap cost $2300 installed.

man thats great news! I am glad you said that, i just lined my slip with padded huggers and covered my dock wheels with the fabric covers. I waited a year to do it as the first season I had it I definitely bumped into everything lol

Hi ,
Wondering if you could give us all a three year update on how the wrap has held up and pros and cons?

Looks like 3m BoatBlue. Same as I did mine. It looks great but i find it not very durable. Dont get too mad when you need to put patches on....ITS GONNA HAPPEN!
