Sticker-Less Boats. Post them here

[zipper]

Here is the first stage of graphic delete. All came off easily with a heat gun on low. Next step is to remove the oxidation on the hull and wax. I like the look already. That graphic really dated the boat, and were all dinged up from previous owners.

I posted this pic to a different tread. But I still think it's cool.

It looks like some of you have removed the "domed" 242 limited S emblems. Can you share how you took them off and any challenges that you encountered? I have taken emblems off of cars by lightly heating them and then using a monofilament fishing line to cut through the adhesive, I'm thinking that might work for those as well?

Stickers are gonzo

Wow it looks so much better without stickers

Trimmed the stripe above the rub rail to keep only the logitudinal portion and removed everything under the rub rail.

Took mine off the first week I had it. Looks cleaner and those stripes are very fragile so, if you don’t remove them you’ll be replacing them.

Here is my 2013 AR 192 I took off the side decals and replace the silver boring pin strip with a red one. Also changed the "supercharged" for red ones too. I think it looks more sporty which is the look I was looking for.

Mine only came with a small graphic on the bottom. I removed it the first day I got the boat.

Around $400. Had it done by Street Sounds IV in New Bern, NC.

De-stickered our new baby. Feels so good.

Dear Yamaha, if I want decals on a $75k boat, I’ll choose my own. Thank you.

I did it last year. I love it. But now my brother calls it Shamu.

Before and after.

When I removed my decals - I didn’t remove it because I didn’t like how it looked - I actually liked the graphics. I removed it because I thought the idea of decals was CHEAP. $58k boat with stickers didn’t sit right with me. None of my buddies boats have decals - they have graphics layed into their gel coats.
And at the end of the day - I think it looks classier.

2020 AR240 removed stickers the day after I brought it home. Not a fan of the 90s race car style decals.

thinking about doing this to my 2015 ar240 (blue/black). they've been on for almost 6 years, though. is it even possible you won't be able to see where they were once they are removed? has anyone removed decals this old?
