What does this boat look like minus graphics??

[wx5svr]

I am about to replace the pinstriping on my 1995 200 SIG BR and I got thinking. What would my boat look like minus pinstriping and graphics? My first thought would be that the boat would look unfinished. So, before I order new pinstriping.....does anyone have any photos or have seen any boats like this w/o the stickers??

Thanks

Maybe someone could photoshop a picture for you. but the real issue is what the actual gelcoat looks like under those stripes. It might be a different color than the rest of the boat plus the actual "lines" separating the colors may not be even.

When these boats are built, it is my understanding that they mask the mold and spray on one color then remove the masking tape and paper and spray the second color. Most of time on boats that don't have a stripe or a decal to cover that masking point, you will find that they use a crease that is on the hull itself so any minor flaw will be hidden.

If it were my boat I would replace the graphics. Having said that, you had better check with Sea Ray first to see if they even have the graphics available. And don't be shocked at the price either. Most graphic packages are pretty darn expensive.

Thanks for the reply Dave.

The graphics are just fine, its just the pinstriping, I think the PO left the fenders down b/c that is the right position for the pinstriping coming off. :smt021

I think i will just replace the pinstripes. They have the exact factory pinstripe on Flounder Pounder's website ($.50 /ft) and I have a Sea Ray dealer checking his "large inventory" of older pinstriping for me. I am just concerned whether or not it is still good after sitting for so many years. I guess I could always just purchase enough for part of the job so if it doesn't work I won't be in the hole all that much.

Thanks again
