Ditch em! That's my vote but I'm bias, I bought the 195S to have no graphics. Also, as zipper shows as it gets oxidized you'll want to buff it and the graphics will get trashed then. I like the color combo on yours and think it looks classy naked!
 
I dont think they're bad. I removed ours but they were much more gawdy than that.
 
Funny on my 190 I wanted to take them all off, but wife wanted to leave them on. So I sneakedly removed the lower graphics first and she didn't notice. Next I removed the fake chrome yamaha badging, and again she didn't notice. I'm working up to the last decals, if she doesnt notice those gone I'm taking her directly to the eye doctor. Just my own preference I like the clean look and don't really like Yamaha's graphics. That's why I think the 195s is the best looking boat in the fleet.

Wonder if I could get away with this.....
 
This color is awesome for 2019, sky blue I believe. My favorite color by far, it's kinda of a 60's baby blue, very classy.

Funny, the color reminds me of my sr. prom tux from 1978.
 
No, they look fine. What about them bothers u?
 
Thinking about removing my decals. Boat is almost 2 months old and I noticed port side is peeling at the contour line. I ordered the gray and white again but now second guessing it, especially if they are going to keep peeling.
