I wouldn't. I like how it brings in the black and white from the top of the boat down low as well. Looks great to me!

I'd also keep them, its pretty simple and clean. However, you could replace them with something more custom for a few bucks as well or go all out with a custom boat wrap if you really wanted to spend the $$$.
 
I ditched it on mine..

I like it without the sticker honestly. At first I though leave the sticker then @djetok showed us without and I think it looks cleaner without and has enough detail.
 
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.
 
Peeled most of mine off a few years ago. The gelcoat around the graphics had oxidized and the only way to restore the shine was to remove them. They were all dinged up anyway from PO's. After a weekend of wetsanding and buffing, we were very happy with the results.

Left my antennas in the towing position. Normally up near vertical.
