    Thanks for the comments. The beloved Rider is still in my possession undergoing a rotisserie restoration as I type and I will have a new thread on her since the last one was taken down years ago. I got screwed royally by Bennett's Boat Repair on the last set of stringers and so she took a back seat to other projects for the last 6 years. I have since decided to restore her once again using composite stringers even after a major fail on the top cap. She will be brought back from the dead if it's the last thing I do on this earth.

    As far as Comp goes, I did my best to duplicate the original striping. I took dimensions on everything before I began the restoration. The major difference is the color blue that I used not the sizing. With my Rider, I changed the light blue to the Olympic blue as it pops much better against the red, so I ultimately went with Olympic blue on the Comp as well to match both boats. It's personal preference on a lot of this stuff and don't blame you if you keep the light blue. Avery is manufacturer on the blue I used.

    Posting some pics below and description to help you better understand if this fits your needs.

    Currently, the multi-stripe is in the hands of forum member NoWake in TN as he decided to make his twin Comp to mine look new again after seeing my pics. I should have plenty for you once he ships it back to me. I'd be more than welcome to ship you whatever you need.

    Multi-stripe is as follows:
    1007 yellow 1/4” width
    No spacing
    1010 tangerine 1/2” width
    No spacing
    76 red 1” width

    Single stripe blue is as follows:
    1016 Olympic blue 3/8 inch roll.

    Matching years and matching trailers on the two '83 Supras? How did you manage that?
