How much are guys usually charging for boat wraps... on a wakeboard boat don't know the exact measurements just seeing ballpark figures.. I have a few friends that want some done and seeing how much I should charge

On boats, at least $15.00 a sq ft, depending on the complexity of the curves, up to $20.00 a sq ft installed.

does the $15.00 ~ $20 include installation? i'm sure it does, but just want to be sure.

just be careful around the front of the boat, it will be tricky making the contour....heat and also heat. use primer 94 , and egde sealer. mixed emotions on air egress or not.

You shouldn't need primer 94 because you should NOT be using air egress material. That's just asking for failure.

I know one of the best in the business uses MacTac's Bubble Free media for their boat wraps :

Check out the Kracker boat wrap on YOU TUBE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty6nH4QKwco)<------ here

We just trained 15 of our customers in MacTac's 'Application Nation' wrap training using this same material. I was hoping to get pictures posted and tips learned at the seminar - however the laptop that the pictures were stored on crashed.

Every manufacturer I've talked to, and every piece of literature I've seen published (I don't have the mactac paperwork in front of me) says NOT to use air-egress media on marine applications. We've been using Oracal 751 & 3951 non RA. The install takes a little longer, but it's not too bad.
