    Hull Graphics Photoshop - Opinions Welcome

    I'm digging the shield decal on the side of my '98 Air. No decals looks too plain to me. I think original decals looks kinda funny with the red 'Nautique' on there.

    Not sure on the scale of the shield decal, I just kinda eyeballed it.

    Wife likes the originals, I like the shield.

      Stick with the originals - that was one of the best graphics they ever did!

        I like the new shield graphic a lot, it updates the boat.

        but.....

        The original was one of the best of all time.

        Tough choice.

            Wow, wasn't expecting this much love for the original decals.

            I think I'm going to leave them now but remove the ones near the back that say 'Nautiques', 'EFI', and 'Launch Control System On Board'. Maybe add some tint to the windshield too.

            I think right now the side just looks a little too busy to me.

            Here's the new plan.

                Keep the original ... and the 'Nautiques', 'EFI', and 'Launch Control System On Board'.

                        I also say stick with the original. BTW, here is what your boat will look like with tinted windows... in a word awesome. The only graphics package I like better is the 99 Super Air retro looking graphics.

                        I agree that the red "Nautiques" is a little weird... I would have gone with a different color or not included it myself, but it is still better than anything except the 99 Super Air graphics.

                        Yeah, I know... I plan on going with better numbers this year.

                          I haven't tinted it yet. That's just a photoshop.

                              Run the Original Graphics and tint... You can do the tint yourself, its not hard. Get a heat gun and some decent tint and go for it. Heat gun $45, Tint $35, Satisfaction of doing it yourelf, priceless!
