Looking for a full set of decals for the 88 BFN I know they are a very specific design those years so most places seem to not list them.
Any help would be appreciated. I had reached out last year to try and acquire a set from N3 but i think they stopped carrying them because I got nowhere with them, and they don't list them on the website anymore. I would really like to throw some stock styling back onto the hull sides rather than having a custom set made up. proving harder to do than i thought. *edit* I know Nautique parts has hull sides but I'm looking for transom, deck stripes,pinstriping etc. all details. has anyone used these decals from them before? with any luck? Transom should read "Correct craft" "competition ski boat" these I cant seem to fins in right font |

Transom is the same as the Ski those are readily available, along with te double pin. I'd venture a guess the "lightning bolt" bow decals are different and the rear deck definitely is. Not sure those have been remade.

Try Townsend at White Lake Marine. They had a graphics guy at the reunion that told me they'll make reproduction graphics for WLM.

I put an email into Nautique parts last night. I didnt realize the stern was the same.
They don't list it in any colors though only white. Were all of the stern decals white instead of same color as the sides? I venture to guess the same as you that the deck stripes are going to be the toughest to find hopefully the guys at NP can hook me up with most of what i need. worse comes to worse I'll have a local guy try and match the grey up. |

Sides were all white for '88 as well. What site said differently?

ok, my bad. i figured since the website had gray and red as an option when ordering than it was offered that way originally.

Hmm, now I'm thinking- was there not a gray option for '88?
I know the shadow was the same color (unlike 89-90) and there wasn't the wide range of color options (teal, red, black, etc)... But I want to say the gray hulled boats had a non-white option. |

I've never seen one but anything is possible back then if you knew someone.
HW probably has more 88 pics than anyone else in the world. So maybe he can check. |

88 was white only don't second guess yourself
MAYBE, just maybe, some very late 88s got colored decals [that came out in 89] but I have not seen any, and I've seen a lot of 88s... |
