I have a 1997 175BR and I am trying to find the origional decals for it. Anyone have any luck? Any help is appreciated. First post. First Sea Ray.
 
Congrats on the new boat and welcome. Search ebay and check long established dealers. They may have back stock they would love to sell. Also check with SR direct.

If you can find high quality pictures on the net (google) a print shop should be able to reproduce them with the correct measurements, and print them for you.
 
If you buy old stock, just make sure the decals are fairly new. I had my boot stripes replaced a few years ago. They used a roll of tape that was a couple years old and the adhesive that holds the release paper on the top of the vinyl left a residue when it was removed after the stripe was applied. They had to order a new roll and redo them. Turns out the adhesive on these decals has a shelf life. Dont know what the life is but they used 2005 or 06 tape in 2010 and it was bad. I am sure storage conditions factor in as well too. Just wanted to caution you to make sure there is a return policy if you buy New Old Stock vinyl striping or decals and make sure you cut a piece off and verify it is good before you put them on.
 
Thanks for all the help. I think i found a good print shop that will do it. I'm just a little concerned that it won't match up right. Tough to find good work these days.
