How do I get replacement decals for my Tracker?  Mine are peeling off everywhere and look terrible..
Is it something I can put on myself?

Cost?

Thanks for any info......

I have done some small one  spray water on the boat first so you can move them and get all the air out before it dryers  i did them on cars

Any Vinyl Graphics shop can make them up and install them if you wish. If you do it you have to be careful to getthem aligned properly. You can use a solution of 1 gallon of water to 3-5 drops of a quality dish soap and spray a fine mist over the area that you are applying them to so that you can move them around but you will get a better adhesion if you put them on dry. Make sure if you do it yourself that you get a applicator from the graphics shop. It is just a small straight edge plastic scraper to force out the air as you apply the vinyl. Look up some installation instructions on the web or ask the shop for them. If they are large I would suggest having the shop install them to avoid torn or crooked graphics. Also make sure you put them on in the shade because a hot surface will cause them to become soft and you will end up stretching them and distorting them as you work your way down the vinyl during application.

Excelent Tips GotstaFish!!!  ~c~

For the graphics you might try contacting the company or taking a look at their site to see if they have graphics that they sell for this sort of thing ;)

I think I read somewhere that is $350 to get the original decals.   I'm thinking I will cut the last few feet off and put some sort of custom decal in the empty place.

Thanks for the info guys, it sounds like I might have to get it professionally done.
