Flying Stripes Boat Decals | Custom Racing Stripes, 7 Colors

Description

Flying stripe decals for boat hulls and decks, cut from durable cast vinyl in seven colors. Choose your length from 2ft to 11ft and a width from 12 to 48 inches to suit your boat.

Flying Stripes That Give Your Boat a Custom Racing Stripes Look

These flying stripe decals bring a clean, sweeping accent line to your boat's hull, gunwale or transom. Each set is cut to order in your choice of seven colors, with lengths from 2ft up to 11ft and widths from 12 to 48 inches, so you can size the graphics to match your boat's lines instead of forcing a one-size decal into place. The tapered stripe design follows the curve of a hull naturally, which makes it a popular pick for owners who want custom racing stripes without paying for a full wrap. Order a pair for both sides of the hull, or a single stripe to accent a transom, windshield frame or storage hatch.

Marine-Grade Cast Vinyl Built for Life on the Water

We cut these boat graphics from cast vinyl, the same material class used for long-term outdoor applications. Cast vinyl conforms to curved hull surfaces, follows gelcoat contours and compound bends, and resists the shrinking and edge lifting you can get with cheaper calendered films. The matte, gloss and clear finish options let you match the look of your gelcoat: gloss reads like painted striping, matte gives a softer modern look, and clear works well layered over an existing color. The vinyl stands up to water, and the inks are made to keep their color through sun, spray and rinse-downs at the dock.

How to Measure and Order the Right Stripe Set

Before ordering, measure the area where the stripe will sit, and remember that the listed width is the overall width of the stripe graphic at its widest point. A 12-inch width suits smaller runabouts and accent panels, while 36- and 48-inch widths make a bold statement on larger hulls. For a full-length hull stripe on a mid-size boat, most buyers land in the 6ft to 9ft length range. Each set comes ready to install with application tape on the face, so the stripe lifts off the backing as one piece. If you are applying to both sides of the hull, order two sets and mirror the second one during installation.

Applying Your Decals: Wet or Dry, Above the Waterline

Installation works best on a clean, wax-free surface above the waterline. Wipe the hull with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry fully. For long stripes, the wet method gives you time to reposition: mist the surface with a slip solution, float the decal into place, squeegee from the center outward, then remove the application tape at a low angle. Temperatures between 60 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit give the best adhesion, so pick a calm day out of direct sun. Avoid applying over anti-fouling paint or anywhere the stripe would sit in standing water. Full step-by-step instructions ship with every set.

Frequently asked questions

Do these stripes work below the waterline?

No. We recommend installing above the waterline only. Constant submersion and anti-fouling paints interfere with adhesion, so keep the stripe on the hull sides, transom or deck areas that stay dry when the boat is at rest.

How do I know which width to pick?

The width you choose is the widest point of the stripe graphic. Measure the flat or gently curved hull area you want to cover first. A 12-inch width fits smaller boats and accent areas, while 36 and 48-inch widths suit larger hulls and bolder layouts.

Can I get one stripe for each side of my boat?

Yes. Each set includes one stripe, so order two sets and flip the second one during installation to mirror the design on the opposite side of the hull.
