    Greatlakesskipper.com has some. Most of us has removed it. Looks outdated

    ++ on Handy’s comment. The gold is just an old look.

    The only real reason for the stripe on a wide color boat was to hide any flaws in the line between the white and, in your case, tan. If the line wasn't perfect when they laid the gel, it would be very noticeable. Chances are, it would look fine without the boot stripe.

    My new / updated model letters. Gold leaf gone and was at the end of its life.

    @Black_Diamond I went the other direction.  The PO had removed the model stickers.  Before I found replacements on GLS I had a local vinyl place match the font and make flat replacements.

    FWIW if I had to do over I'd just get the oval 342 badges for the radar arch and call it good.

    I considered the 342 badge on the arch too. These cover up most of the old letters that left behind their outline from the sun. 

    Once I had the old ones off, I thought it looked good without them. Already had the replacements tho.  Live and learn. lol

    now onto the pinstripe: either solid black (blue now w/gold) or go without.  Sun had beat up the pinstriping.
