Decal experiment....opinions please

[larry_arizona]

Buddy of mine at work gave me a spare set of Ford Raptor decals.

Threw them on the boat in 15 min, not the greatest pics but........

gotta be honest. not a huge fan. you'll get asked "hey, is that the supra raptor??" :)
imo anyway.
never a big fan of all the pieces/parts decals. remember this model:

and btw, sweep up the corner of that shop ;)

[larry_arizona]

I too am not 100% loving it. I need to get it in better light and on the water.

But decals are worth 5 hp and an extra 500# ballast!!

I'm not a fan of these type of decals. I've removed them from our boat. I view it as advertisement and I'm not getting paid by GM for the advertisement space so what's in it for me? Bragging rights? I don't think so.

Can’t argue these critiques [emoji106]

I personally think the Raptor engine Is brag worthy even if it’s marketing.

Free advertising, I guess, but I don’t see too many removing JL audio emblems off their speakers.....lol

Raptor is same as.....
FX one on the tower
Taylor made on windshield
Boatmate on trailer
JL Audio on speakers
PTM on board racks.

I personally like it on your boat. It matches and there is a nice open space for it to not clash with anything.

[larry_arizona]

It is a large open space, it’s a black vinyl outline that allows the pacific blue gelcoat be visible.

I'd also like a Hoonigan one too [emoji16]

Have you seen the new reflective Hoonigan wrap on his 2019??

It's badass and color shifts when light is shone on it.

Yes, but in all your examples, your logos are ON the items in question. If you were continuing on that analogy, you'd simply have "raptor" on the engine cover itself. Not on the side of the hull.

It's be like me putting decals on the side of my M3 (or on the window) that say UUC, Eisenmann, Eiback, Bilstien, Dunlop, Dinan, Momo, Focal, Precision Power, etc...
Would it be appropriate? Sure. But too 'fast-furious' to throw all your vendor decals on the outside of your ride.

Sure, it's done LOTS. And yeah, it's justifiable. Like having livery on a race bike though...

[larry_arizona]

Trust me, I am anything but ricer and would never put a decal on my car, so I fully relate to the comments against it.

I want to evaluate it on the water, then decide if I will pull it off.

One crazy thing is that with wakeboats, it's completely okay to do things that are super blingy and WAY over the top that would NEVER fly in the car world, but are totally fine in the boat world. Going crazy with speaker and cupholder LED's. Under transom LED Lights. Hell, I put up a little disco light on my tower for our 4th of july dance party. Trailers have LED backlit wheels! and crazy loud thumping audio systems! Metalflake! Bring on the sparkle!

Accessorizing boats is straight up ridiculous, but completely ACCEPTED! If we did our cars that way, we'd be SHAMED off the road. But on a boat? It's nowhere near as taboo. Crazy.

[larry_arizona]

Based on the PWT boats, no doubt loud over the top graphics are acceptable.

Speaking of which I have thought about getting a PWT decal like this.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190718/82da88bfe3d12f5c36675d9e4dcff96c.jpg

Just the /PWT part and nothing else.

PWT Pro Wake Tour would have to come off along with the Club Royale sticker but leave the rest for me.

The hoonigan wrap color shift is awesome, but the 2018 looks better in my opinion.

Sent from my Note9 using TapatalkI do my best... We started with our party at the 8500 sqft Villa at the mirage that our friends were staying at, complete with our own private pool, hot tub, and putting green.

The next day was a Cabana at Drai's with a private pool for our crew.

That night was the above mentioned Sapphire, and having a VIP balcony at Hakkasan fall in our laps for Tiesto.

We closed it out with Cabana/pool time at the mirage. And a few went out that night to XS for night swim and got to see Kygo perform.

It was a trip of trips.

(Sorry for the thread jack, but hopefully the bikini picture makes up for it)

oh yes you can. there's a reason every other billboard here is an ad for an attorney :)
I work a block from a dispensary and we are far removed from the strip. that place is like a license to print money. amazing the number of folks that I interview and try to hire that fail a test. "but it's legal here" :) :)

I'm 100% sure that I do not have a Ford, so like I said "I'm not getting paid by GM".

I did of course notice you removed all the Nany stickers off the outside of the boat.

Those didn’t last 30 minutes upon leaving the dealer.

Almost pulled the trigger on a boat late last year that looks like your Larry. Supra SA and get divorced or stay married and not buy that boat. Coin came up tails so I'm still married. At this point wife is on board and has even been in the show room so I get to to get the boat soon. There is a used 2019 SA and SL coming in and a used 23LSV (all the same dealer) plus the 2020 Mojo. All good choices, just need to get out and demo with all four boats. Hopefully I will have the same problem, deciding if some decals look good on my boat, before the end of the year.

i know I'm replying to myself but I wanted to say sorry for the grammatical errors and I should have picked tails, always pick tails! Love my wife and just so you know she has been buying more swimsuits geared towards surfing vs Vegasing. She even bought a comp vest for Gods knows how much but I don't care cause she is somewhat excited about buying a surf boat!
