Vinyl wrapping a boat

Any vinyl wrap experts on board? I found this sweet little 1991 Wahoo 16 dual console dirt cheap couldn't pass it up. Came with two running motors. It will make a fun knockabout boat. It had a horrendous paint job so I decided to strip it to the gelcoat and repaint. Half way through sanding I started thinking of vinyl wrap instead of painting. Faster, less prep, cheaper, less mess, better cool factor.

Currently the paint is stripped, scratches and gouges in gelcoat filled and sanded to 80. Anyone know how the surface needs to be prepped to get the vinyl to stick propperly? I am guessing sanding to 80 isn't good enough? Thoughts from anyone with real application experience.

The boat and some wrap ideas.
