'Restoring' a fibreglass hull - Vinyl Wrap??

[nicholo]

Hi peeps!

As the quotation marks suggest, it's not really a restore as such. Got an old boat I'm trying to bring back to nice looking as it's a bit of a legacy thing in my family.

Wondering if anyone has had any experience in Hull wrapping with vinyl. I'm in intending on just wrapping the side of the hull to make it look nice, cause since it was a work boat, there are all kinds of scratches and dings. Gonna fill the bigger ones with a marine putty or gelcoat, then wrap the sides once they are smooth. Anyone got reservations for a boat that's gonna spend most of its life out of the water?

Any help would be amazeballs!

Thanks and good day!

So a couple guys did it here on the forum. Comments were typically not sure how long it would last.

Vinyl wrap won't last long if its below the water line, not really meant to be submerged for its life. It will last otherwise, obviously not much strength when it comes to dock rash and being scratched.
