Groundhog Day is coming up again. According to Wikipedia, last year at least 34 ceremonial groundhogs across North America poked their heads out of their burrows to see if the sun was shining. About half saw their shadows, forecasting 6 more weeks of winter. Among that group was the most famous of them all: Phil, from Punxsutawney, PA.
What does any of this have to do with you? Nothing, because you’ll be far away from Punxsutawney Phil and his prognosticating devilry. On your boat.
But are you ready? A thorough checkup takes time, and often reveals minor to severe damage to the hull that needs tending. The best way to prevent that this year is with a boat wrap.
Lucky for you, Starocket Media knows boats.
That’s important. Specialized skills are necessary to sufficiently protect the hull. Boats are subject to far more friction than a car’s body, which has the benefit of rubber tires separating it from the road. The faster your boat moves, the more it bounces off the water. It rubs up against the docks in choppy weather. Then there is the corrosive nature of water itself, especially saltwater.
There are many factors in boat wrapping that a lot of inland wrapping companies may overlook.
- Design. Boats are far curvier than cars, which affects the way images appear to the eye. We think three-dimensionally and take perspective into account to ensure the finished product is visually appealing.
- Application. We use a variety of specialized tools and adhesives to ensure the best possible fit for concave and convex surfaces. We avoid bubbling and unsightly seams. We make sure any overlapping is subtle and flows with the wind rather than against it.
- Lamination. It may be necessary for the vinyl wrap to be reinforced with a high-grade laminate. We’ll talk through the level of protection that’s right for you based on your boat specs, planned activities and other factors.
Don’t sweat the groundhog. No matter what he sees come February 2nd, Starocket Media is ready to prep your winter getaway.
