It depends a lot on the capabilities of the equipment being used but in my case I can cut in one piece that would fit in a 13.5" X 96" rectangle. If any parts lay outside of that rectangle It would have to be cut it in overlapping panels. Prices can be all over the place depending on complexity of the design and multiple colors. A one color graphic, up to 13.5" tall, and of medium complexity, would run roughly $5 to $7 per foot. If you can fit two graphics in that 13.5" height, the price wouldn't change much.

The following graphic (which is on my boat) would probably be about $40 per graphic (high complexity with the frazzled text, three colors, and the fade). My friend in that picture owns a highly respected sign shop in Cleveland, OH and with their 3D routing system is carving up a 3D 'Willy' (the dolphin on my bow)for a ground ornament or to stick somewhere on the RV - pretty cool stuff. It's amazing how much technology goes into sign making today.

P.S. Always make sure you are getting the premium vinyl for boat applications. A lot of places will cut the corner and use a 5 year intermediate vinyl film. The difference is both the adhesive used and the thickness of the vinyl. A thicker vinyl has a better chance of catching on something and/or trapping water underneath. I always use an 8 or 9 year vinyl. It's a good deal more expensive but you can count on it to last.
