Decals for 1989 SN2001

Hey All. We are hoping to get to renewing the gelcoat on our 89 SN2001 this winter. We have a bit of oxidation to cut through, and the existing decals are a little banged up anyways, so I'd like to strip all the decals off to be able to properly wet sand and polish. Before doing that though, I was hoping to secure replacement decals, or at least have a plan for how to move forward. I've run across a few forum posts here about the 89 graphics, and best I can tell they just are not available, and would be difficult to replicate. When we contacted Nautique Parts, they suggested using the 88 side decals with the small 89 side 2001 decal (which incidentally, they do have in stock). The 88 decals look like a similar gradient (maybe waffle-ish?) pattern that seems like it would look nice, but not combined with the small 2001 from the 89 if they don't match exactly. So, going with all 88 graphics (minus the 2001) might be okay, as long as there is not too bad of ghosting around the transom decals (different text between 88 and 89) and around the small 2001 which would not end up being be replaced if they didn't match close enough. I'm curious though, has anyone tackled this recently? Anyone have luck getting the 89 decals reproduced, or is it not worth the cost/effort? I did find these folks who have a "replica" 89 graphic, but it says it's from a picture, which I've heard will likely not turn out well on the curved hull. And their graphics are significantly more expensive than the stock 88 from Nautique Parts:

I definitely have considered just leaving them and working around them. The decals themselves aren’t in terrible shape. I guess with anticipating having to do a bit of wet sanding to cut through the oxidized layer, I just figured it would be harder to get a good result on the gel leaving them on. But having never done this before, other perspectives and experiences like that are much appreciated!

That’s good to hear. I’m curious how well they’ve held up to fading. They certainly are a lot more expensive than the stock ones from Nautique Parts. And they do mention an option to recreate from a tracing of originals for exact size/shape match. Worth it if they hold up well enough to some sun exposure. Maybe not so much if they need to be replaced every few years.
