For the inside sides of your boat ... somewhere on this forum Capt Asparagus detailed the building of his side console alloy boat.  He had a blue coloured coating put on the inside.

Might be an option?

The product your referring to is Edge Sealer. It is must but still won't prevent the wrong type of vinyl lifting]]> Sat, 29 Jul 2017 18:01:48 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124813&PID=1697124&title=vinyl-wrapped-boats#1697124 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124813&PID=1697105&title=vinyl-wrapped-boats#1697105 Author: Joker

For the outside of the hull, there is a reasonable colour range if you get the right type of vinyl. Standard vinyl types are not designed to take the pressure of water on the chine and will lift off. I've witnessed a catastrphic failure where the whole side lifted up caused by water getting under the vinyl. It happened on one trip, not over a period of time.
You can also do a digitally printed wrap, where there are no limits as to what you can do
For inside the hull water pressure isn't a problem so you have greater options in vinyl types a large colour range. However this is an area that would be subject to knocks from gaffs, nets, rods etc, and I think you'd find thats where the vinyl will tear. ]]> Thu, 27 Jul 2017 20:16:47 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124813&PID=1697017&title=vinyl-wrapped-boats#1697017 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124813&PID=1696961&title=vinyl-wrapped-boats#1696961 Author: viscount

Can you get any colours for the hull and has anybody done the inside of a aluminum boat? I have a Centre console boat which I may want to do.]]> Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:00:45 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124813&PID=1696961&title=vinyl-wrapped-boats#1696961 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124813&PID=1696055&title=vinyl-wrapped-boats#1696055 Author: Waihime

You are bang on. I have the same ramp issue as you, but as Saltyc mentioned, use fenders at all times on the ramp. My wrap still looks like new after 4yrs of use but I'm fastidious ensuring it never brushes along anything or it will tear.
Painted boats at my ramp also look pretty marked up, but in alot of cases the marking on the paint could be buffed out. Not so with vinyl.
If you can look after your equipment well and can avoid running into or rubbing along jettys, I believe vinyl is a good option]]> Sun, 16 Jul 2017 12:30:03 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124813&PID=1696005&title=vinyl-wrapped-boats#1696005 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124813&PID=1695999&title=vinyl-wrapped-boats#1695999 Author: SaltyC
