I watched an outfit in Miami do a Cigarett. All the did was clean the suface down befor wraping. The Cig had the original graphics and were never feathered in with the clear coat if any was used at all. It looked allright from a distance but upclose you could see every detail in it. When they did the transom, I was not impressed at all. With out taking external steering cylinders off and cutting one time,they just wherevre they thought was right and everything showed. There was other hardware on the transom and the same thing was done.There was many things that could be done prior to do the transom to make it right.One thing they did do was remove the rub rail, center grab rail in the middle of the deck and the engine hatch coushion which made it look alot better. Have'nt had a chance to see the final product to see the overall finish. With that said I hope your son does better than what some compinies would do.
