Make that 26X look like new
For all of you who own the 26X, and are dealing with the fading and chipping of the MacGregor logo, Bluewater has the replacement labels (Part Number H601-1V0) in stock now at a new much lower price of $6.05 each plus postage (down from $25 each). Found it was easier to remove the labels dry, then clean up the residue with acetone and a plastic scraper (and a green scotchbrite pad to finish). Spray the side of the boat with water with a drop of soap and apply it wet so you can lightly touch it to the boat and reposition it. Once exactly where you want it, use a plastic spreader (bondo type spreader) and pull outward from the center getting all air bubbles out (with the water). Makes the boat look new.

Yup! when I was down there last week I spotted them and pick one up for the starboard side of my
the port side still looked great, but haven’t had time to do it thanks for the tip.
