Had some fun with my own boat on Friday!

My buddy and I installed the wrap on my boat friday. Gotta love that its been generating some local interest as well. Figured I would share the results here. Wound up about 3/4 of an inch off vertically at the bow on 2 of the 3 alignment points. Not terrible IMO.

Thanks!!
I don't even have a "before" photo. 2005 hull with Florida sun damaged gel-coat that was just nasty. Buffed it out 2x to get it smooth before applying.

Very sharp. How about the laminate and edges? Did you seal it, tape it? Also, salt or fresh water? Haha sorry for all the questions. My folks have a boat that I wanted to see if I could help them spruce the looks up on.

Oh yeah....laminated with 8518 and sealed the bottom waterline and stern. Bow was sealed as well with additional lam and edge sealer. Have to put striping below the top rail to finish this off as well.

It really was a fun project from laying it out to the install. I was more there to hold the vinyl and make sure it didnt hit the ground! Learned quite a bit from my buddy and he has a summer of fishing to look forward too now as well! I'll post pics of it again soon once I finish up a couple other things with it.
