Has anyone else experienced this problem with their hull graphics? Is there a solution to this without replacing the graphics? If not, are replacement graphics available for the 2004 model?

Thanks,

Barry Martin

Graphics are available in the current colors.

The graphics can peel off, but usually stick too hard to remove easily.

Thanks for the reply Matt. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the graphics to smooth down again?

Thanks,

Barry Martin

I would try some contact cement.

I would just as soon take my factory decals off. Do the rotomolded hulls require decals with adhesive or will the slide on type used on fiberglass work? If I choose to paint should I look for any special types of paint that would adhere better than others?

Try lightly heating the sticker with a blow drier and sticking it down. I had marginal luck with it.

Matt,

You mentioned that current graphics are available. Is the 2004 graphic still currently used? The boats I've seen that are newer have a different scheme for their graphics. If they are available, please provide a part number as I think I want to order a set before they're no longer available.

Thanks,

Barry Martin
