Good morning and thank you all again for your input.
Jorian- The vinyl would only be applied from the joint where the hull meets the liner down to the water line. I know the finished look is in the prep just like paint and any imperfection will show through. Again my original intent was to paint so my prep would go anywhere from 240 to 400 depending on the paint system I use. Sanding to 120 isn't a problem if you think that is sufficient for adhesion? I can go further if you think that is better? My concern is adhesion.
john70t- I am using a marine grade vinyl by 3M and Vivvid both expected to hold up to salt water and both have a stretch that will allow them to go into the concaves at the bow.
Bill Douglas- Paint no doubt has a longer life expectancy. The vinyl's I chose are marine grade and have a life expectancy of about 7 years. I don't expect to have this boat that long. A year or two at most.
