If you like it why do you need other people's opinions to validate your own?
The color is beautiful. I don't like wraps. Then again, I don't like painted hulls either.
-Fenders leave rash
-every ding becomes noticeable and unfixable
-You can buff a lot out of fiberglass.
-What can't be buffed out out of fiberglass can be color matched and filled.
You'll probably want to start taking the fenders and poly-balls in when you're underway.

Color is beautiful and we also looked at wrapping our boat last year, but ultimately decided against it. Indeed the damage the fenders can do is problematic, but in the climate we are in (Eastern Med) the wrapping fades quite fast. We saw boats that had been wrapped 2 years ago and the colors were completely faded.
Hope that is not going to happen with your boat, perhaps you are in a bit more colder climate, with less sunshine, in which case it should last longer.
But in any case, for now it looks great.

Looks great. I’ve always wondered how a wrap holds up over time. I know cars look like brand new when the wrap is removed, so I would be curious how cost effective a wrap is over time i.e. initial cost of wrap vs painting or wrapping new boat and removing before selling and not needing to repaint etc.

Just for fun, how many spare hose clamps do you have onboard?
