I would guess many of you have noticed some guy on ebay selling fairly cheap Moomba logos on ebay for the sides of our boats.. i bought some for $70 which i thought would be worth it in lieu of spending like $500 for authentic Moomba logos. Well i got them and installed them yesterday and thought people would wanna hear how they are.

I think they're made from really thin cheap vinyl so it's pretty tough to get them on without bubbles. Thankfully, though, they're easy to push out or pop with a pin. The material is somewhat stretchy and makes it's way around the boat lines ok. I obviously dont know how theyll hold up over time yet, but i think they look pretty damn good and installed pretty easy. Ill try to get some pics on here this weekend....

That might include someone from SC looking at possible trademark infringement. ;)

doubtful. they had no issues that I know of with the group buy on coozies that have moomba logos(granted not for sale) and keeps them from having to stock 14 year old vinyl decals in 5 different colors.

I agree with sandm. We're usually talking about a product that SC doesn't sell but getting the name out is always good. My concern is how well it holds up to water, sun and abrasion. I was going to replace my decals on my 98 Mobius when they started to fade and put on a 1/4 wrap but I no longer have any more fading and it looks fairly good still.

Ill be honest, i dont expect them to hold up real long. if water makes its way behind the sticker, or i scratch it on a dock i think it would begin peeling. Time will tell for sure though! They look nice now...

Looks good from here. Is it just really thin? At least it won't fade ;)
