Trying to find the best place to go to find 1999 Maristar letters to replace my damaged ones both sides. They are the large letters on the sides of the boat amidships. Bay area water sports says MC is not making them anymore. Thx for your help.

Hard to belive they don't still make them. Might be a good idea to order a spare set for mine while they still make them

I just got a set for my 1994 from Mastercraft. I had heard they might not make them anymore also. I only needed one side, but I got two just in case.
Footin, who did you order your decals from? I have been trying to get a set of five original decals for my 96 190 PS. Evidently MC did discontinued the decals and don’t have any available. I called many dealers with no luck. I located one dealer that had the original 190 graphics scanned to their system and had the ability to cut vinyl however never herd from the guy. I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks

I orderd mine form my local dealer, Rons Marine, in Ohio. They ordered them from Mastercraft.
You may want to call Rambo Marine in Alabama, they have quite a few different stickers in stock.
The other option is to upgrade to the newer graphics that should be available through the dealer. I for one like the lettering on the boat.

Give me a heads up if you find something... I'm looking for a 89 PS 190 and by the looks of everyone else, Sounds like i'm out of luck!

Got the same story from Bennets. No more decals. Just one more thing for me to be super anal about now. :o

Thx Footin, Rambo Marine had the letters! No damage to the boat but our first year w/ an MC and learning to dock marred the letters a little.
I thought about the new letters with the bubble look but decided to stay as original as possible. ;)

I talked to Rambo last fall about letters for my '88. I am thinking about updating 10 years to the '98 Mastercraft decal down the side. They made teal (close to the color my boat is) that year and the M in Mastercraft has a skier in it which is kind of cool.

I like the stickers on the 98, they would look great on your boat.

I just emailed Lex about a set of replacements for the 93.
/fingers crossed. If it doesn't work, I'll just get the new school 3D letters some day. Mine are in pretty good shape, but for 2 little nicks that annoy me.
OK! Who has photos of a 98 PS 190 with white graphics? I believe the model designation decals at the stern are different than 96. My boat has black haul with white graphics. I am worried about gel coat fade and different shades of black exposed new vs old. Please post photos….Thanks....

Memo, would a 98 PS 205 with a blue and white hull and partially white decals do? On our boat, the decals aren't stark white if I recall.
By the way, just spoke with Lex. I iterate my previous comments about him---nicest guy ever. So helpful. Had everything but the "Prostar 205" rear side decals, which aren't available anymore. Thank you Rambo Marine!

Memo, my memory was a little off. On my father-in-law's boat, it's blue lettering on a white background. The side gel coat on the boats I've seen ends above the decals, which are set on the white part of the hull. I haven't seen one that has white letters on a different colored part of the hull (not that they might not have done some like that).
This is the picture from the 1998 WSM boat buyers guide.
