I would paint it, but I am a cheapskate;-)

Ask the maker if you can have copy of the artwork to repaint it?

Its 1970's long gone now.

I deal with artwork for this kind of stuff all the time (but could not produce you some stickers cheap enough, i suspect)

Re-drawing is the way to go if you care about the end result. Even a good photo will have artefacts - i mean, if you cant re-draw then youll have to live with it, or persuade someone to re-draw for you.

A reasonable interim solution is scanning a logo off a manual - at least youll get it square on etc. then.

Does a manual even exist? I scoured google and found loads of boats many without decals..

There probably was but you ain't going to find one now lots of them have no decals because they've been painted because in the 70s-80s people didn't have a very good taste in cooler as you can se by mine in the picture I've named it sh** brown

The trouble is that I would screen print them, so I'd need to colour match the ink, expose the screens, wash out etc etc. I recon id be three or four times as expensice as just getting some highstreet place to click "print" on their vinyl cutter : (

I can do you some numbers if you get stuck, but it just won't be competitive.

Of course your absolute classiest solution would be to have someone screen print direct to the vechical.

Which is entirely possible, but I kind of doubt you want to bring it to our mid Devon village!

Up to now I had a quote from a American company of 115 minimum order plus template setup and design cost so probably over 200 for one which is just stupid

Just a little too far for me to fetch it and the stickers don't stand out

The colours don't have to be the exact same just simler

Right - I'd be way less than that!

But...

Can't you just go to some high street place with a usb stick? I thought it was easy to get that sort of work done?

I mean I can take your cash, and I don't really want to talk myself out of a job, but I just assumed that there were places all over who would knock out stickers?

Moved up to a purpose built 16'6 Reiver with a tanden deck, three built in fuel tanks, completely stripped out, raised transom etc to run a tuned 90 yam and go racing. The Sims wasnt stable enough in rough water and with a 70 just wasnt fast enough!
Raced both with and with out a skier, both were like ripping £20 notes up very very fast! But didnt hurt as much as bikes when it went wrong.

You could get some one to print you a stick on stencil and paint it on!
