I have a 2004 Getaway with the original style graphics. They are losing their adhesiveness. Does anyone have a digital file containing pictures of these graphics? Hobie doesn't offer replacement graphics beyond the current style. I hoped they would offer OEM replacements since it's several years after production before new graphics are needed and by then they're not available. Marketing opportunity missed by Hobie. Thanks, Barry Martin
Update the grafix - now you have a NEW boat!! Better yet go to the local sign company and have something made that no one else will have - or the old stuff duplicated
You can email me a straight on images, I trace images in CAD all the time and can scale them to size, then I could either email them to you or I have some vinyl cutting connections local and could get them cut and shipped to you.
I won't charge you anything for the CAD work but I wouldn't turn down a donation either to myself or to the beach cats website.
The vinyl would cost, but I don't even know what since it depends on so much.
@cezo823 Hi. I know this is a super old thread but I couldn’t find another talking about designing and printing decals. I have an 02 Getaway that needs decals. I was thinking about just putting plain old automotive stripes or something. I see eBay has knock offs of Hobie Lettering. Anyone know what it would take to reproduce the official (or nearly official) look?
Try calling East Coast Sailboats and see if they have the genuine Hobie decals avaliable.

Might have something like this or similar.
Hi,
I could help you out if you want something vinyl cut, but there are places that have the OE hobie decals as well. Do you just want the flying H or something like what Damon shared? If you want one of a kind I can help you or you can try hull flyer graphics as well.

@cezo823 Good to see you here! Last post seven years ago! Thanks!
Thanks Damon, have always loved this site and appreciate all you do to keep it going. I don’t post much but do check on the site from time to time to see what’s going on in the beach cat world. My kids keep me busier than I get to sail but I still sail my a cat when I can
Had to reset my password because I had no idea what it was. Haha.
thanks

Have you done the most/least obvious search i.e. ebay and amazon? I'm going to need to replace the Boston Whaler logo on at least one of the SuperCats, and a found a whack of guys selling them much cheaper than I could have them cut locally. Obviously in this case they're being sold to the power boat (rather than cat) owners, but worth a look.
While it isn't a getaway logo, this is an adobe illustrator version of the classic hobie logo. You can have it printed on outdoor vinyl at almost any modern printshop... or you can grab the Hobie path and just print the stylized name.

I have to link to it because .ai is not a recognized format for upload here.
