Anyone proud of their custom graphics? I have an old boat that needs a makeover, so I'm brainstormin' design ideas as we speak. Let's see some pics of what others have done!! Anyone?

A good boat paint job will cost $4000-5000. Do the work yourself and you are still looking at a good amount of work. Prepping is the biggest step, sanding and grinding all of the old gelcoat to a smooth finish before you even open a paint can is crucial to the actual paint job.

You can have a vinyl wrap put on your boat. The quotes i have gotten have ranged from 9 to 20 dollars per square foot.

We had these custom vinyl stickers printed up and laid for almost $700. They look stock, but were actually drawn up from scratch.

Those look killer Johnny. A friend of mine does vinyl graphics and I had him do these up for me. He also did matching reg.#'s along with these. He does outstanding work and uses only the the best materials. They come out really nice. A few hundred bucks would get you what you need. http://www.stickerspot.com

Speaking of wraps, I think that Camo wrap on the mastercraft in this issue of wakeboarding mag is awesome. What pattern of camo is that, how hard is it to remove when I want to sell, and what does that stuff cost to buy and who puts it on? Lots of questions, sorry.

If someone could find the picture of the malibu with the camo wrap and yellow tinted windshield and post it, I would appreciate it. I think that is one of the coolest boats I've seen on here.

> not sure if this is paint or vinyl but i like it haha.. That's photoshop. I know because I did it. Not to mention it's pretty crappy photoshop work, I'm surprised anyone would believe it's real.

Here is some more photoshop work that I did. This boat belongs to Clay, owner of SoundIllusions.com. He posted pictures of the boat and I did this work with out asking. You can see the logo that I started with by visiting http://www.soundillusions.com. In the original thread, Clay was considering graphics for his boat after removing the stock decals. Though he liked the idea, he decided to stick with the clean appearance of all black. * (hopefully Clay forgives my unauthorized use of his logo) Visit: http://www.soundillusionsaudio.com Another thread, a guy was asking for Skull&Bones on a X-Star: * I liked the Ghost Skull & Bones the best. The Jenna boat before it was famous:

Thats the one. Still think that is one of the coolest looking boats I've seen on here. I also like the supra that has the army type graphics on it.

One of the best lookin' fighters of WWII IMO, just not one of the better performing. That graphic is now timeless though. Looks killer on that Supra.

I'll take the Red Corsair. The shells from the A-10 are filled with spent Iridium and would make seriously good ballast. Just remember not to ask them to deliver them to your boat.

180? Look at all those graphics packages on those planes. Art- That's about the cleanest, nicest Corsair you will ever see. Interesting idea on the iridium.

It's actually spent Uranium, and it's still slightly irradiated. Thus the big stink about the spent rounds fragmenting after they went through armor and the dust being Toxic. I think I'd just stick to lead hehehe.

Midnight cruises would be killer if the whole boat glowed. How 'bout that for graphics package? Spooky Pirate Ghost Package?

Your right Matt. My mistake, but it still has twice the mass of Lead. Now Gold is even denser and looks nice during the day but I'm starting to like that glow idea. Now yosquire just needs to do a Photoshop mock-up
