Anyone have or seen a Black 242X, with stickers removed?

I've never had a boat covered with stickers before. Not sure I'm well suited for it, based on the number of places I've scratched them off.
Thinking the gel coated black and grey will look good on it's own, and just leave the "242X" on the side.

Anyone have any photographic evidence of what it looks like?

My Regal has the white boot stripe under the gel coat, so it can't be rubbed off. I'm likely buying a 212X and I've also thought about removing the chintzy-looking stickers. I'm sure after a few times of tying it to a dock and having the fenders rub on the decals some, they'll look like crap. Not sure why all the wake boats all need to look like someone scribbled on them with a crayon. I enjoy the classic yacht look to a boat over some crazy looking decal package any day.

@Glen I used a heat gun on low, but I hear others use a hair drier, when warm enough they peel off easy.

I pulled my decals off on Day 2 after I brought her home.
It was a hot summer day 95 degrees, decals pealed right off- did not have to use heat gun.

@gatorsnga I agree, but where I live, 95 degree days are few and far between, I used a heat gun because the temp here on the day I pulled them off was 45 degrees. Your Yamaha looks awesome.
