Removing side decals

[Theath13]

Just bought a 2013 super air 210 and am thinking about taking off the star graphics on the sides and just leaving the "SUPER AIR NAUTIQUE" on. The boat is all Silver Cloud with just a black hull accent stripe. Has anyone else done this? and also have pictures so I can visualize it before doing it?

Take a picture of your boat side view and post. Shouldn't take long to edit in PhotoShop and remove the graphics.

I have almost the same boat and asked the same question. Instead of a black stripe I have a silver metal flake.

I haven't picked it up yet, this is the only picture I have of it.

I don't have the best tools on this computer and well lets be honest I am not a graphic artist by any means. I'm not sure how you would get the line black where the current star decal is located. It looks a little plain to me. The old classic graphics look great on the 196 sized boats but these bigger boats seem like they need and extra swoosh or something to fill in some of the excess white space.

According to the dealer the black line goes through under the decal. I have not seen the boat in person to do any real life visualization. Thank you for the graphics work! I do agree I might have to possibly add a little accent decal on the side.

If you are looking for opinions we are not much help as our opinions cancel each other. My son says keep the decal and I like it without.

I can confirm the gel colors go ended the decal, the decal is applied after all the gel is complete. We chose to leaves ours for a few years then peal it for a fresh look when we need a change.

Once the boat is sitting in the water the graphic will not be so "in your face" the way it is when the boat is sitting on the trailer. I'd wait until you have had a chance to put the boat in the water and then see how it looks. Personally I think the boat is to plain without the star graphic.

I have a neighbor who is looking into this to his 216V because there is some dock rash on one side. The problem is the sticker is applied first and the Chromax sits on top. We haven't taken a shot at it yet, but from what I understand the Chromax will probably have to be replaced.

That should not be the case. The Chromax should be applied directly to the gelcoat. The decals are cut around the location of the lettering.

Here's a closeup of a 2013 210 for reference.
