    Help Choosing New Decals

    I purchased my first Nautique this last summer. The previous owner had removed the decals from the side. I was going to put the original decals back on but then I saw Pro Air Sauces Nautique for sale and I liked the Air Nautique decals he had. What do you guys think? Stick with the originals or go with the Air Nautique? Here is a pic of my boat and both options!

    My personal opinion is to always stay as close to original as posible... keep the nostalgia of these older nautiques.

      Stoke these from the classifieds But I really like the look.

      Would also just consider chromex like the newer boats.






      With that said these have always had a place for me. One of my favorite Nautique graphics of all time.

        Whoops. I misread the poll question. I thought it was between the 2005 decal or leave it bare. I'd like to change my vote to the sport Nautique decal. I also like the first one swatguy posted. I wish they'd stop production of the one from 2005. Sorry if that sounds harsh. I peeled the ones off of my 2005 within a year.

                  Thanks for all the responses! Definitely still not sure which I will do, maybe I should add the old AIR nautique decals to the vote haha. It would basically be an air naitique since this winter I'm planning on adding automatic ballast.

                    Good luck on the choice , but IMO throw out the first pic idea you posted . It looks terrible

                      Have you considered no decals and doing NAUTIQUE in the newer chromax letters?

                        I do like the chromax across the back like swat guy posted. I think it looks pretty slick but wasn't sure if doing chromax would look too new on the older boat?

                          We need to see a real pic of your boat.

                          is it the blue one? The black one?

                            Not sure why but the photo I uploaded of mine isn't showing. It shows its posted above the blue one when I go to edit my post but you can't see it. Here it is again though

                              I think the black chromax letters NAUTIQUE would look good... they aren't black... a medium silver/gray.

                              however they are not cheap. Any thought to leave it like it is?

                              Any options like this ^^^ and the other vinyl stickers are expensive!
