How long is the boat, and how tall is the area that you'd want printed?

OK that's great. This can be pretty affordable (you must be painting the black?). I'll estimate 2ft x 6ft and allow some extra. I'd need an eps file of the skulls.
Is that your car in the pic? Sweeeeet! I have some of that same color on my boat.

Tint is just for looks , actually hinders vision especially in dusk or dawn situations . Mine is tinted and i just look over the glass most of the time . The black wrap would look good , not digin the wheels though . Loose the bayliner sticker , get a hair dryer and it will peel right off .

I had my windshield tinted at 20% last year, its nice to have, like a car people can't see in. Also keeps the glare out of your eyes in the evenings when the sun is low on the water. No need for sunglasses.

Definately adds a cool factor... but serves a purpose as "CleaCraft" said! Love the boat BTW!
