Hull Decals / Graphics needed
« on: March 17, 2014, 09:35:34 PM »
Hello to all Aquasport boat lovers! New member here needing a little direction on Aquasport side hull decals. Reworking a 1993 Osprey 200 center console fishing boat. I have pulled all of the stripes and side decals, ( wide part of the stripes ) off and have compounded the hull to a like new finish. Ready to go back with some decals / Aquasprt logo graphics. I have already acquired the Name logo. I am going back with Black and gray / silver interior and would like the same colors for the exterior. Would anyone have a source for these decal / graphics ?

Thanks.

Mark, welcome aboard, and thanks for the PM earlier :thumright:

Many of us use Marine Connection Liquidators for sourcing decals.

If they don't have them, you'll need to go the local sign shop route. Specify UV resistant vinyl, and shop around.

A while back, some of our members were able to recommend a friend in the biz that delivered quality work.

In the meantime, go to our "Resources" Forum, and find MCL, Marine Connection Liquidators in Sarasota. Ask for Jake straight off the bat :wink:

NB,
Your link leads to a blank page for a rebuild reply. Where did you see the photos you were trying to post?

Something like this? Circa 1993

Scotty, MCL is in Ft Pierce.  Marine Surplus is in Sarasota (Bradenton, actually)...


Corner of 520 and A1A...

Capt. Bob, That is HER! Just not in that condition at the present. I got in touch with MCL today, Ken had something a bit different, I think I'll try a newer looking hull decal as well as some stripe tape to match. Thanks for all the information, so quick! I'll post some pictures when I Get her shaped up!

Very good then. :thumleft:

I must say that the early 90s (91-93) are rather blah, especially the numbers. 94 on, the graphics are much improved on the Aquas though the 80s weren't bad either. It was the transition from Hialeah to Genmar in those early days that the graphics suffered. I removed the Aqua Decals(damaged chrome) and went with the early 80s font. The mid 90s long Aqua would look good on your hull also. I think that's what MCL has the most of in stock. I had mine done from a graphics shop on line. There are also decals available on eBay that appear very similar.

Good hunting.  8)
