| Any one have any tricks to get the old boat #'s off, I am trying to just peel but they are being a pain.
Thanks

| Try heating them with a hair drier, and using an old credit card as a scraper might help. Once you get them off, some isopropyl alcohol might help getting the glue residue off.

| West marine sells a product called sticker off also to help get the residue off but the hair dryer and CC work well for the actual sticker

Location: Ashland WI | I just did this. Used a hair dryer to help get the stickers off, and then WD-40 to help with the residue. |

Location: With my son on the water | Goo Gone
It is a Citrus based product designed specifically for (stickers , Labels , Etc) Squirt it on and let it soak in a bit and everything comes off great and easy. It will not touch the paint.
I am sure Wallmat has it.
Have a good day.

| Just did this myself too. Used a blade from a block plane to remove the stickers, then sprayed goo gone on the residue; let sit for a few minutes, used the blade again, then finished with a non-scratch scouring pad. Took about 20 minutes with very little elbow power. Heading down to the local print shop next week for a custom reg# decal. |

| Heat gun. I had all the decals off a Lund Pro V in 10 minutes using one. You can get a good one inexpensively at Menards. |
