    I'm gonna second the polishing (I bet you have some sun fade/ghosting) and vinyl application advice.

    If you can, avoid working the vinyl in direct sunlight and take your time. Those are long graphics. you might find the rubrail curves a little differently on your boat than the one they are made for. Tape it in place and step back from the boat. It might look visually better following a hull line or the rub rail, which might require a little bit of trimming on top and or just a slight tilt in the overall piece. Do so very carefully with and exacto knife or razor blade and avoid scoring the gel coat.

    There is no break in that vinyl to "suckup" corrections on a curved surface like a boat hull. I like to firmly tape one end in place and work top down and center out to the edges. This requires removing the backer by splitting it in sections. You might even want a helper on that large of a piece. The vinyl may not "flow" completely straight, hence the trimming it at the body line/rub rail after installation advice.

      Thanks for the tips guys.. I've emailed the company that sells them to see if they can downsize them just a bit. The pieces they sell are 22" tall and my stripe area on the boat is about 15".. They said no problem and will work with me over the phone or email to make sure I get exactly the look I want. I'll attach a pic, but the ones they sell are a little bit different than the ones on the Tige build site, probably a trademark thing, but basically the same. Since I dont have the angled body line like their model boat, I plan to swing the whole thing up and run it level with the rub rail.. I need to get back with them and see if the 22" is top point to bottom point the way they have it angled in the pic, or if its measured height while its level..
