View Full Version : Boat Name
I fished all of last season without a name on the back of my boat. This winter I will put the name on it.
Should I have it painted or use decals?

We used decals, just because it gets beat up with the downrigger balls and i dont have to repaint it to fix it. I have a good contact if you need it mike.

Decals, so when you sell it to some guy like me I won't have to take the time to get that painted on name off of there:no:

I'll second that!! My buddy bought a used boat and sooooo many of them out there had names painted on. It actually had a little bit of influence on his decision on which boat to buy.

Todays technology in vinyl graffix are UV resistant and last longer than some of the ones they use to have. And I would think it would be alot more cost effective than hiring an artist unless you know a good one. I custom ordered my reg numbers and boat name and it was only like 35-40$. I can send you a link if you want.

Since I have an out board I had the Name for my boat done twice along with the city and state. Once for each side of the boat in vinyl for $31.00. They are now a year old and holding up well.

My wife came up with the name for my boat. She does work for a graphics shop so that was a plus...
