1989 SPORT 15 Decal Placement Diagram

Postby Waterfun » Wed Jun 30, 2021 1:55 pm

What are the Boston Whaler specifications for the placement of decals on an 1989 SPORT Sport?

What is the location as measured down from the rubrail and forward from the corner of the stern?

I am installing new decals. I want to get the new decals as close as possible to where the original decals were.

Usually the old decals will leave a slight shadow on the gel coat indicating exactly where they were.

I am unaware of any diagrams for any models that show details of the placement of decals that are posted anywhere.

You can make a good inference from looking at catalogue photographs.

Did you buy the replacement decals from a recommended vendor?

Generally a recommended vendor can give you advice about placement.

The ones that are on there are a second set by previous owner and located too far forward.

I purchased from MAGIC BRUSH. They said to go here for mounting location specifics.

The archives do not have the location for the 15 Sport model.

After some research, the location of the Boston Whaler decal is 3-inches below the underside of the gunwale lip and 11-inches forward of the edge of the transom.
