Hunter 23.5 decals

I have a 23.5 Hunter that I need to replace the striping & decals. Does anyone know where I can purchase them?

I have a Hunter 25.5. I taped off the stripes and repainted them with topside paint. I did blue stripes on bright white, looks great. I then used some generic vinyl lettering to recreate the "Hunter 25.5" on both sides. That was the best I could come up with after mulling over the project for sometime. You can order the decals offline several places but the problem I saw was they came on a single sheet of vinyl anyway so you either would have to cut the letters out or have a large piece of background vinyl that wouldn't match the your boat. Hope this helps!

I was heavily involved with the 23.5 from the conception to the very end. The only thing I did not like about the boat was the person who chose those decals for the side of the boat which I was overruled. When taking them off after many years, the gel coat will be raised a little and I use to clean and compound the entire sides to match all the gel coat. I would go to various marine outlets to see what they had but many times went to the automotive stores that specifically sold the vinyl tapes and got sample books basically which most of my customers chose from. Clean the area wth alcohol first where new stripes will go.
