Replacement Decals
The original carver decals on my 98 530 Voyager were faded so I am taking them off. Does any one know where to get the foam filled chrome carver decals that are on some of the 2005-2008 models? I think those look really sharp and more up to date...thanks for any info!

Re: Replacement Decals
Hi there
I have a 2000 456 and had the same problem. The original Foam decals were and are great looking. Letters were starting to fall off.
I couldn't find any exactly the same but found this company "Vinyl Approach". They had the exact Size ,Font, Black CARVER
lettering. $ 70 for a pair. I did send them a Photocopy of one of my original letters so they could match it.
The Decals came to Canada in about 2-3 weeks or sooner .
I cleaned the old lettering off , buffed and polished the surface, READ the instructions and followed them. Installed them myself . They covered the old image left behind by the old decals exactly.
They are perfect in every way , except they are not raised. They look great and for the time being , the boat looks much better.
in the future if some exact replacements become available I might replace the "flat" ones.
I have considered getting some custom made Stainless or Chrome lettering made but besides cost , another consideration I had was that the heavier Stainless letters might need to be fastened with hardware requiring ( heaven forbid ) drilling holes !
In any case I think its definetly worth putting the lettering back on your beautiful 530.

Re: Replacement Decals
Thanks Victor and Fred...I have seen the flat ones and seen Great lake skipper as well although they dont have the ones I need at least online. Maybe I should call them and see if they have the newer version I am looking for. The more recent models have the cool chrome colored ones that are foam filled. They are definitely harder to find that I thought they would be. Maybe I will have to settle for the flat ones...I did see some flat chrome ones as well. I appreciate you both taking the time to reply! Thanks!
