Hydro dipping VS. Wraps

Jeffmaturo · Aug 26, 2018

Has anyone tried hydro dipping their boat? Interested to see how it stacks up against a wrap.

The pic is an example of a wrap at our local club.

I don't see why we couldn't do this to a hull. Just need to clear coat I guess.

Wonder how it holds up vs. a wrap?

I'm going to find out very soon. Going to dip one of my hulls, will post pics as soon as I do.

Yes you have to clear coat it to protect the pattern. Dipping full hulls can be tricky because of their natural buoyancy. Need to dip slow and steady, and can be very challenging trying to get the hull under the water. Take care when activating print on water. Over activate and pattern will slide right off of what your dipping. Under activate and you will get small dots everywhere.

I'll say that I've seen a couple of the hulls Steve has dipped and I though the level of detail of the patterns was pretty impressive.
