Boat lettering

pmj · 03-22-2006, 09:50 PM

I bought my vinyl boat name at a sign lettering company in Concord,NH.
It was really inexpensive compared to Boat US or any of the other internet or marine lettering services.
One trick...if you use vinyl letters, wipe the lettered area with alcohol to remove any excess wax.
It's a piece of cake to do..if I can do it, anyone can!

Don is right. Anchor Marine http://www.anchormarine.net/lettering.htm has great prices and quick turn around. Even if you want some fancy lettering etc. they can do it.

I opted for simple lettering http://www.winnipesaukee.com/photopo...o=9067&cat=502
The instructions with the lettering was excellent. 2+ years later it still looks great. Putting it on yourself save alot of $$$.

Irwins did mine for me when I bought my boat, so it was a "freebie" courtesy of my salesman. The also did the graphics and lettering for my truck, both doors and tailgate. Around $200, but again, 3 color graphics, lettering and installation.

if you are looking for the good old fashion paint,there is a guy in Meredith that still does hand lettering. And he does awesome work. I dont have his # but if you want it I will be seeing him later today. He is making a sign for my buisness. Just let me know...

Shhh.

I bought my sailboat's pre-cut, pre-spaced, self-adhesive, vinyl name "Wind Tax" for my un-powered sailboat? (With an arrow pointing to the registration number).

Thirty dollars at PegasusAutoRacing! (Race-car graphics).

Don't tell anybody.

Shhhh.
