This must be a common topic so I tried a search but didn't find anything easier than just asking ya'll.

My "GRADY WHITE" hull lettering is faded. The boat hull and superstructure looks fantastic, I think redoing the boot stripe and re-sticking the lettering would make it look nicer.

Does someone have a number for a new set of decals from Grady White? or another online retailer with a license for the obvious TM.... If I google search it only second hand retailers come up.

Thanks!

Randy :huh

Hi
Sounds good.
How much all in for the labels? I assume (2) of each?
Are they the new GW font?

2 of each. Wasn't aware of a new font. He took my serial number and said he would call once they were in, a day or two. I'll let you know

$92 for the Marlin 300 cabin logos. But the hull "GRADY WHITE" logos are out of production, the new style is the only style now, and they were $210EACH. No thank you.

I had him send the cabin decals, but I'll make the hull decals myself, or just peel the faded ones off. Everyone knows it's a sweet Grady, no explanation required!

$210 apiece?? Wow. I looked back and paid about $90 including shipping this time last year.

I'd call Taylor Marine (302) 422-9177 and Southeastern Marine (804) 226-1111. Two big dealers with big parts departments. You might still find the old ones in stock.

I got some new decals for my Sailfish last year on Ebay. Good quality and were not very expensive.

Wow... $92 and $210. You'd think they'd be more reasonably priced. Talk about screwing the customer without even kissing them....

Do a google search for Garzon Studios. He can make an exact copy of any Grady logo you want and he will email you a proof of the logo before he prints them. I had my 1994 Tournament logos done by him and they were exact copies of original logo. I was so impressed, I had him make custom vintage looking logos for my Evinrude. Came out awesome. I think the Grady logo ran me 90 bucks for the pair. They have been on the boat for 2 years and still look new. So I guess the quality is there. No issues so far.

Great tip on the Garzon Studios. They had both the decal I needed for the restoration of my 205 1983 Gulfstream! Thanks for the help.
