ZDecals Boat Wrap Program

[jasonba1]

I had mine sandblasted and powderrcoated black for 150 here in east tn. I am sure yellow will be a little higher unless you happen to catch them when they are doing a batch of yellow stuff.

And all of the quotes I got were anywhere from 135 to almost 200 to do my tower.

Anybody why know why the cost have skyrocketed so much the original post said something like $900 for stock and $1500 for custom. I called today and was quoted $3200 for a stock. I realize material costs have gone up but 300% in six months.

MD80. I had the same issue. I called last week and got the $3200 quote as well and was told I need to talk to a Skiers Choice Dealership to place an order. when I asked about the prices posted on the Moomba site....I was told...Yeah, we know about those, we need to get that thread down.

What it boils down to is this: ZDecals have come up with an awesome product and presented it to Skiers Choice. SC liked it and decided to help them market it. But at the same time, pick up close to 2Grand.

I asked the sales person if I could order straight from ZDecals and exclude a dealership from the equation. In other words, get the full wrap for $1500 and save myself a ton of money. I was told that due to their contract with SC, it can't happen. They cannot place an order for any SC product unless it comes from a dealership.

So, I am going to work up a design on my own with photoshop and have a local company creaste it for me.
bummer - their designs are sweet, but it is what it is....

Bummer, I was planning to do it at the $1k price. I don't think they studied the price elasiticity on this one.

This is very strange to me how Zdecals is handling their buisness, or should I say "potential business."

I emailed the original poster, Nick, at Zdecals prior to the Atlanta Boat Show to see if they wanted to use my boat as a demo. Told me he thought they'd be OK, but would let me know. Didn't hear back from him, but no big deal.

So, I emailed him again last weekend to get price on the "Jive" design with "mobius" changed to "moomba." I live about 20 mins from their shop and asked if they would also do the install. Got a reply from Jamie, not Nick, and installed price was $2,000! Far cry from what was originally posted and simply too much in today's economy.

I just don't understand why we are all getting such varied replies from this company.

I think its time to just go to a local shop and have them do it for way cheaper. Since ZD is in with SC now under contract the prices arnt going to change. It looks like its setup the same as MC's wrap program. Just download a picture of one of their wraps off the web site and take it somewhere local and see how close they can get it.

We need to find someone who wants the Moomba market and get them started on a new thread and remove this thread and give it to ZDecals. There is a fine line with competition and ZD moved past that long ago. ZD stays with SC and others go elsewhere.

I want to remove the old decals and blend the magenta and gray from the motorhome into the blue metalflake on the boat along with a omnipresent roo. The blue on the motor home and the boat are fairly close. I'll do the general layout and then put the package out for bids.

I agree I can understand that on 09 boats zdecals and skierschoice having a partnership but any other boat out there 08 and older that is not at the factory right now they should be honroing what they told us on the origianl post. I have a feeling that this will cost them a lot of business. I am sure in this economy there would be several several local shops that would love to have our business and give us the same kind of deal.
