I have a 2006 Grady White Tournament 225 and my GW decals are spent. Stripes, logos, and GRADY WHITE all need to be replaced. Any idea where I can fine OEM replacements? I reached out to GW but they have yet to respond.
GW Decals?

Thanks, I wasn't sure if a dealer would stock the decals for a 15 year old boat... that's good to know!
If money isn't a concern, go to your dealer and order. I'm going a lower cost route refreshing my 228 with a buffing, waxing, and new decals & stripes... DiscontinuedDecals.com has G-W hull logo and model-specific decals in a few different styles. And HullStripes.com can make any stripe set you want in the colors you spec.

I don’t think you will have much luck with Grady as they no longer have any decals or hullstripes for my 2006 228.

Dealer should have a variety of stripes in stock. Take a pic of what you have if you want exact copy. You can also get online from other sources. GW labels can be obtained in some cases through your dealer, there are some knock-offs on ebay and other places but all are slightly different. Some of the early badging is end of life and only knock-offs will be avail.

GW dealers stopped selling the older logo style years ago, so if you go through them it will be the newer 2021 style.
I bought the older style ones off eBay and they are a dead match for the original ones in terms of color and style. Only disappointment is they were about a half inch or so shorter, which left a little bit of ghosting. They can be found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Grady-Whit...964993?hash=item4453d0bd41:g:xaQAAOSwyKZePN31

I just went through this, splashing today. I wanted the updated look and ordered both the emblems and striping direct through the dealer. In person it’s eye catching. I also changed over to Ivory Stamoid as well. AJ made it for me, my navy enclosure was shot. Also, to me the glue was the hardest part of the stripes, brake cleaner was the way to go, it turns glue into the consistency of sticky boogers, which I scraped off with a plastic scraper. It doesn't harm the gel coat. Use a heat gun on the striping to get it going and pull slowly. The gold one looks like a scraping only task in your case. This took me hours to scrape and clean.

It took me a while to understand what was on the hull stripe near the through hulls. It looks like there is masking tape. That would explain what looked like a pretty poor paint job
