That likely occurred because someone overfilled the tanks and the fuel ate up the material.
I've seen it on eBay from time to time, but any GW dealer has it and sells it by the foot. I'm partial to Vero Marine and have ordered parts from them for years. Others swear by Taylor Marine. Still others use their local dealer. Either way you can't go wrong.

Last fall I blew off a couple of inches of the tape while power washing my hull before winterizing. Taylor Marine (pa@taylormarinecenter.com) has the stripe for about $2.00 a foot.

Measure the width of the Blue and Gold stripes and also the width of the space between them exactly. If you can't find the exact match, it's not too difficult a job (for a short area) to piece the blue and gold stripes separately. Buy whats close and cut it to separate the colors. Typically it's the Blue stripe and the space that'll be off. Match the width of the Blue and install. Come back and install the gold stripe after. Before you add new stripes, square off and cut the existing stripes on your boat to ready it for the new piece(s). Overlap them by a half inch, cut straight lines and your good. From a reasonable distance, nobody will know.
I just ordered a complete, custom color set from this guy http://www.ebay.com/itm/DECAL-STRIPE-KI ... dt&vxp=mtr. The complete set is $119. He was very easy to work with. His stock work is done in the OEM colors. He customized my order to dark green. I am sure he could just sell you the stripe.
Don't replace it, get a heat gun and take it all off!

It does look good without them as well. I just did mine in a custom color so, it fits my new style. Should be nice when completed.
