Prob around $1700-$2400. My local sign shop quoted me $12/sq ft including installation. This is for a top quality vinyl material. The rolls come in 12", 24", 36" & 48" widths so just find the width you would need and the length you want, multiply to get your sq ft. and then multiply by 12 and there ya go. This will give you a rough idea. Hope it helps. Be sure to find a reputable dealer/installer to do the job.

Oh, and any graphic design they do for you will be extra. My shop charges $40/hr. However, if you can find a "vector" graphic and buy it for cheap then there would be little to no charge on top of the initial $12/sq ft.

Go to...

for some ideas. I think I linked you to skulls but you can type in anything you want. Just be sure to uncheck all of the boxes except for "illustrations" when you search.




Some other cool searches, IMO are... tribal, flames, smoke, aliens, pirates, urban, surf, patterns, background, etc....

You can spend hours upon hours exploring graphic designs here. Good luck.

Another good idea is a partial wrap. I have seen some people do different things. Some use a '1/2 wrap' that covers the rear half of the hull, full side from top to bottom. Another idea is to consider how much of the hull is typically underwater. Basically from the rainbow stripe to the rubrail is only 2.5' or so. This cuts out a lot or material and cost. If you can find a design you may be able to find someone willing to cut a deal on the printing and you could install yourself using a spraybottle with soapwater and a squeegee. Good luck.
