Added a little striping

AR240 with the tower from a 2018 212x
Now it makes sense, thought it was a 212x with ar240 stripes. I like the green, blue, and black combo. Very different

Btw whats with the thumbs down. It was a simple question

Fat fingers?
Or - the phone screen was upside down.

Hmm not sure about the pin stripes. I think it would look better against the blue hull if you outlined it on the white decal. Your boat though so do it how you like. It's definitely one of a kind in a sea of same ole Yamaha's.
 
Thats what i would like to do but the decal is 1 piece. I was thinking of contacting ipd and see what they could do

I had a good experience with ipd. Didn’t do any special design, pretty much picked one of their canned sets. It was tweaked a bit but not much. Had a couple emails back and forth with a designer, then he emailed me the proof.

Looks good. Im just worried about the color match on the green
 
You could probably swing by a paint shop or vinyl shop with the boat where they would have color standards (or order one). Check your tower for a match on the swatches (Pantone ###, etc) and you would be able to spec a match CMYK if printed or exact color spec if a solid color vinyl. I like the green stripe. It helps the tower belong.
 
What did that tower cost you if you dont mind me asking? Did you do the tower swap or did you do it?
Was it more cost affective than having the original tower powdercoated green.
The 212x tower is a better and more robust tower I know.

I did the tower swap, not to hard. I'll just say it was in the low hundreds so it was cheap enough just for the color change. It doesn't size perfect but close enough that most people wouldn't have any idea.
