Having issue with graphics delaminating from boat. Is this a common problem that anyone else has run into? How to fix it?

I hope photo works.
Thank you

Common problem with these boats. Mine's doing the same thing. It's not the graphics that's delaminating, it's the wall itself. The walls are about an inch thick, most of which is high density styrofoam (not sure of the technical name), faced with (I think) some 1/16" thick wood (or plastic?), and THAT is covered with a thin white plastic (vinyl?), and THAT is what's delaminating. Or warping... Sorry if I sound about half stupid but I'm not near the boat and it's been awhile since I have been!

Short version, the sun is killing it, and I'm not sure what to do about it short of pulling all the facing off and starting over.

^^^^ That's what I'm seeing too. Kinda' like RV walls. I don't know much about the walls themselves, but I do know graphics. If I can make a suggestion: Whatever you replace/repair with: do a hard white surface of some sort and apply a vinyl design to the outside of that. The vinyl should last quite a while (indefinitely if cared for), but even if it doesn't it is relatively easy to remove and replace.

looks like water damaged wood to me..... hope not... either way the only way to fix it is to start ripping the damaged material off

replacement of the underneath material is what I thought too... thanks for the replies everyone...
