barfoot nautiqe decals

so back to the barefoot ;) There are no '86 or '87 brochures in the reference section (just an '86 silver anniversary SN brochure and an '87 marketing report). Also, there is only 1 '86 barefoot in the diaries, but it has SN graphics The '85 barefoot had the small "Barefoot" graphic with 2 feet and then a large "Nautique". There are 3 '87s in the diaries and they have three different sets of graphics! I think from the factory they had two little feet then solid lettering "Barefoot Nautique". The '88 has no feet and the lettering that fades like the SNs.

And Hollywood, good news, that graphic is still legal in AZ!

Dank, that's ridiculous. I did my duty and voted, here are the results.

Do you think splash guards with "images that are obscene or hateful" should be illegal?

I should have a few pics of '86 BFNs on my home computer, I'll post them later this weekend if I do.

the decals on my BFN are original, the feet replaced the O's in 89 I believe. I checked because I like the feet instead of the O's but wont change the decals from original.

TRB thank you for reminding everyone my boat is not in the diaries section yet. I will try to solve that problem tonight when I get home.

It looks like '86 is the same as '87 minus the two little feet at the beginning of Barefoot. From the few pics I have, '85 is completely different.

I dont think the 97-99 graphics slant towards the stern on both sides. I believe they use the same exact decal both port and starboard.

The 91-93 graphics are the same way, and I assume all years in between.

I figured so much. Joel's got a classy looking '00 with the '99 graphics. He used to have a pretty sweet '90 though.

Good eye, that is HW.

If youre at all picky, then I wouldnt have anyone "wing it." 87BFN offered to trace his decals- Id take him up on it if I were you.

I'm pretty sure thats how they are on my 97.

That pattern looks the same as mine- Ill get a close up of it this weekend. The shadow does look thicker though.

Im pretty sure the 89-90 are the same.

looks kinda funky with the check pattern, diffenetly a 10ft graphic.

tim did you get my e-mail today old boy e-mailed me on that rwp
