I have some damage to parts of the striping on the topsides of my 95' 330. I would like to repair/replace. Anyone know where I might be able to find this striping?
 
These guys advertise that they have 'some' stripes available: http://www.fpmarine.com/SeaRay.htm#Misc You'd have to call them for exact info. I just replaced the hull stripes on my '97 270 and was able to get an 'almost perfect' match from an automotive paint supplier. Wasn't critical since I replaced an entire side, but it was real close.
 
Best bet is your sea ray dealer. I replaced the boot stripe last year. $1.50/ft

95- you won't find anything original. They don't make those colors for years ant even if somebody have leftover roll is useless (they have about 5 years shelf life)
You will need to replace all tape on topside with aftermarket tape.
Searay mostly uses http://www.prostripe.com/ products but they make custom colors just for them. You should be to find almost any color similar to original one. Only problematic color is "hunter green"
but new original searay green should be close enough to match tape with your hull

My black stripe at the water line is shedding off a clear looking stuff.....is this something someone forgot to take off or is the stripe shot???

Some striping has a mylar coating over it. Sounds like it's starting to de-laminate. The striping probably won't last to much longer and you should probably start looking to replace.

yes your dealer forgot to remove protective film from tape.
that clear is used by tape manufacturer to protect tape from scratches when they put it on rolls.
it can be very hard to remove if tape is few years old
 
LMBoat_ you can go to a local sign shop and they can order that strip for you. This price should be far less than $1.50 a foot-

Good luck

prostripe tape goes about $80 for 150 ft roll of tape 2" wide
some tapes come on 50 and 150 ft rolls
you may have to order two different colors if you want to make it nice
