That likely occurred because someone overfilled the tanks and the fuel ate up the material.

I've seen it on eBay from time to time, but any GW dealer has it and sells it by the foot. I'm partial to Vero Marine and have ordered parts from them for years. Others swear by Taylor Marine. Still others use their local dealer. Either way you can't go wrong.
 
Measure the width of the Blue and Gold stripes and also the width of the space between them exactly. If you can't find the exact match, it's not too difficult a job (for a short area) to piece the blue and gold stripes separately. Buy whats close and cut it to separate the colors. Typically it's the Blue stripe and the space that'll be off. Match the width of the Blue and install. Come back and install the gold stripe after. Before you add new stripes, square off and cut the existing stripes on your boat to ready it for the new piece(s). Overlap them by a half inch, cut straight lines and your good. From a reasonable distance, nobody will know.
 
Go to your dealer. They should sell all the various stripes by the foot. Ask them to cut a small piece of each so you can match it up.
 
It does look good without them as well. I just did mine in a custom color so, it fits my new style. Should be nice when completed.
