What software are you using to do your layout?
Depending on what it is look for something like 'mirror' or 'reflect' to take one side and make it work on the other.
If you are using Power Point or MS Word I don't think we can help you.

art cut when i use mirror it shows backwards
What does the graphic look like? Is there text in there - i.e. name of the boat?
Graphics have to be mirrored to end up pointing in the same direction on 2 sides of a boat.
Do a screen grab and lets see

Your general description of "decal" doesn't tell us much. Artcut is a very basic, cheap program which is limited in what it can do. You should be able to mirror graphics with no issue, but mirroring text probably wouldn't work. You'll need to create the image on your own.

Is that a contour cut around printed (or cut) lettering?
If it is lettering then they can't both point to the front of the boat.

OK,
so if it is letting with a contour cut you will have to redraw one side to get the shapes similar on both sides.
Text, at least in the US, is read from left to right so just mirroring the design will not work.
Do you have any more of the design you can share?
