I love this wrap...

Nuck n' Futs let me sure I get your option straight. You think the acts by the fed make you feel that the mortgage market is going to fall more?

Very true. I didn't sell my 24Ve and had to reaccess my ideas on what I need to do with it.



I don't think so. But I think someone from this forum is going to look at it soon.

someone is gonna look at it? I thought about it, esp if I sold mine, but I'm just not sure. I really like the alpha z tower, and I think an RZ2 is perfect for me. I also need to move to a better area for lakes. I won't be buying another boat as long as I live in Bako. BV sucks IMO.

The acts by the fed have put my industry in motion, especially yesterdays actions. I walked into work today and about fell out of my chair. My par rate was 4.25% for about an hour this morning. (30 year fixed.) That gives my loan officers a 4.5% rate to sell on the street, that's really strong. I have roughly 1500 loan officers around the US and they were super busy today. I bet we locked more loans today than we ever have in a single day. This burst of activity only helped part of my industry, which is basically the refi group that's been sitting on the sidelines. The low rates will give people more buying power for their dollar, so it should start trickling down into the purchase market.

I don't have to sell my boat right now and obviously it goes away faster if the price becomes impossible to pass up. I think my price is right between a fire sale and a great deal. I just need a buyer that loves my setup. There is a major design hour difference between my wrap and the wet-sounds boat. I have over 3 months of design hours in my wrap and it's 3 different layers. I think Tim's wrap is very cool, however, it should have been very easy to create. In hindsight, I would have left my wife out of it so it stayed simple. Live and learn!

Can I ask what the sq ft price was to have your wrap printed? and If you designed yourself or worked with a graphics designer?

[RID22]

I can't remember the sq ft price and my wrap would be a horrible baseline. My wife and I sketched what we wanted and tweaked it over 3 months. Matt Krueger, the owner of Axiom Graphics, did all the computer graphic work. He definitely played a monster role in creating the design. He's a young guy and he has a good read on what looks good based upon the customers requests. Some of our other designs were NUTS, he steered us back into reality.

I have multiple layers and lots of different finishes to give depth to the design, so my price per sq ft is way out of wack. You could call Matt at Axiom to get real idea of the cost. I bet Tim from wetsounds, paid a more normal price. If I had to guess at the cost of the wetsounds wrap, I would say $2500 or less. Then again I could be way off.
