@MX71 This is some seriously awesome work! I love the way you plan it all out, too. How do you like the wrap in terms of quality and durability, do you know how well does it stand to abuse, scraping the docks, etc. ? Did you consider placing a standing order with the manufacturer, or - could refresh it when needed? How difficult would it be to peel it off and reapply?
Sorry for many questions, I just think that what you are doing is really cool, and I have heard rumors with sbout new wake boat builders offering a new wrap to customers on an annual basis, as a part of a contract.

No problem.
- Quality = 8 (Boats are hard to wrap with all the curves, etc. but it looks good)
- Durabilty = TBD - I'm hoping to stay off anything on the walls to get it to last, wax and wash after I take out of water and store out of sunlight during week w/cover. With that said hopefully 7+ years and then I'm happy)
- I'm sure they could take orders, but then you need an installer. I saw what he did and it looked tough
- Peel & Reapply is probably not horrible I'm guessing

Looks great! Have you looked into getting the windshield frame powder coated black?

Fantastic work. These 230s have great lines that with a full wrap like yours really come to life! She's a head-turner.

Man that looks good. I have a sx230 and have been trying to figure out a wrap. Yours looks great. Can't wait to see the seats. If you don't mind, how much is the interior gonna cost.

I had not done that, but agree it would be better.

I put back 65% of the interior last night. I have the wrinkle issue at the bow, but my upholsterer said she can adjust once we see how things fit installed.

Looks good man how do you like your tint
I think I could have went with 5% like you said... I should've listened, but your avatar looked good. It'll have to do for now.

Outstanding and you know exactly the condition of your boat given that you have taken care of it. Win-win. This is as better as new
