It's Not Just A Boat, It's An Experience

Naming a boat is a personal thing. After all, the name of your boat is more than just a name, it's describing an experience. It represents the fun and memories you will have thanks to that vehicle.

Over the years, names were lettered on the boat using paint. If you happen to be artistically inclined and have the skills to apply painted letters to your boat, you're one of the lucky ones. But what about the rest of us?

You could hire someone to do the lettering, but the result will only be as good as the talent behind it. And let's face it, if you want that talented person to paint quality lettering, you have to pay for it. That's fine, but what if you could design and apply the lettering yourself? The boat is yours, the name you give it is personal, what if you could give that lettering your own personal flourish, your own style? You can.

You Don't Need Paint

Vinyl lettering is versatile.

Just about any lettering font you can find on a computer can be used to create vinyl letters.

Also, a variety of effects can be added, like outlines, script fonts, or color combinations.

And it doesn't stop there. Besides creating vinyl boat lettering, you can also make graphics to use along with the name to give it that extra personal touch.

Vinyl lettering is also durable. Usually you can expect it to last about 8 years, even with weather conditions and when exposed to water regularly. Vinyl is a tough acrylic that will hold its color for many years. And even when it does eventually wear, it's still easier and less expensive to replace than having it hand-painted all over again.

You will save time and money in the long run using vinyl boat lettering. It lasts long, yet it can be replaced inexpensively, and most of all it's uniquely yours.

And it can be useful for more practical applications too.

Boat Registration Numbers Mean Smooth Sailing

State law requires that boats equipped with propulsion machinery be registered in the state in which they will be used. A valid certificate including that number is issued to the owner, and this number must be displayed on the boat.

Federal requirements state that the registration number must be made using block lettering at a height of 3 inches or more. It's common sense to make sure your boat is in compliance with these requirements. Vinyl boat lettering will make it easy for you.

When designing your registration number, you can choose from a variety of easy to read block lettering styles. Also, you can create these numbers in pairs so they can be applied to both sides of the boat. Imagine if you had to have those numbers hand painted. Now you don't have to, you can do it at a fraction of the cost and you can do it all yourself.
