I'd like to ask anyone who has gotten vinyl graphics done for their boat
about pricing.

I had 2 sides done for the 320 last spring, and had a bad time with the
vinyl place I used (they did a less-than adequate job on the output, and
then "forgot" to send me the second side and delayed my boat launch and
delivery by a couple of weeks). They charged me around $325 for the set. I
took it off at the end of the season and got a refund, and I thought I had
a NJ place that could output properly but they now seem to be balking at
doing a soft drop shadow behind the type. (I'm a graphic designer, please
bear with me.) I found another place online that's cross-country in
Washington, and they want $490 to do both sides (and want me to pay for my
own fedex if I insist on seeing sample chips of the vinyls.) Is this
pricing out of line? It seems expensive to me, but at this point I don't
know what's normal.

The original graphic is here on the site in Moondancer's (admittedly not
very full yet) photo album.

Thanks!

Susan

p.s. I vote for Mystic, at least then I can drive up for it. We're already
set to come to the Rendezvous there in August, and school schedules will
keep me from Florida in November.
