I replaced the Grady - White graphic yesterday and in the end decided to replace reapply the stripes too. It looked pretty good without the stripe sand just the logo but I had the stripes and I kind of like the classic look. If I could not have sourced the stripes I would have gone with just the logo. Both the graphic and the stripes went on very easily, I was thinking it might be more of a job but in the end it was OK. At this point I have only put the aft sides portion of the stripes on. I still have to go from just aft of midship to the bow. I also have not done the graphics on the cabin yet but those should be easy. In the future I may awlgrip the hull and then I would be stripeless, until then I have that classic look. Old boat, old guy, new stripes
Len I like the look of yours with no stripe. I think it would look too busy with the name on the side and the stripes.
I also like the starboard transom panel. That is a project for next season for me. I have replaced mine once about ten years ago and used plywood with glass and it held up well but it is time for new. I'll check into the starboard. My boat is an I/O so I have a PVC gutter type channel (drip edge) mounted on the lower edge of cutout in the plywood, how would I attach that to the starboard? Any ideas. Could I glass a piece of wood onto the back of the panel and screw into that? Will the resin bond to the starboard? Did you have a bracket on that boat previously?
