They suck. Mine are flaking like crazy, some have been blown off at the car wash with no effort at all.

See they come off easy. I took mine off and left just the Hobie decal centered in the hull.
Thats why you saw those pictures of my boat with out the decal. I sailed for a while with out a decal on one side.
I was going to see of Hobie has any different FX 1 decals that are not so big and stick beter.

Also the other new FX up here in the NW, his decals are flaking off and they look like crap now. He was driving 5-6 hours.

Maybe we should check to see if MMiller could look into the decal problem with the FX One.

I noticed when i took mine off they were not the same type material as the HOBIE sticker.
It would be cool if there was a FX decal that was similar to the Tiger's decal.

My Tiger decals looked like crap when I bought the boat in '04 (it's an '02 Alter Cup boat).

Scraped them off and put a red diamond Hobie logo on the side. No worries.

John Bauldry had custom graphics done for his Tiger that are similar to the HCE ones, but cooler and better looking.

If anyone has photos I can share with Hobie Europe... that would help. They don't think there has been a problem.
