Try a local sign shop
Tom,I had my graphics printed at a local sign shop in Davenport, Iowa. All I had to do was pick out the color vinyls (they had lots) and the type of font. I selected a drop shadow design in the smae red and blue as the stripes on my 26. The dealer deleted the squiggle stripe on my H26 and left room for the name and continued the sheer stripe aft. The guy behind the counter put the picture up on the computer screen, I liked it and he set the plotter in motion and voila, I had my boat's name in 8 inch letters. The cost was less than 20 bucks. Of course my boat is named "Loon." They sell the material by the number of characters, so longer names cost more. Installation takes a few minutes. Make sure the surface is wax free (household ammonia is good) then remove the protective sheet that goes next to the hull, position your graphic and rub it on with a plastic squeegee. (credit card works too) After you've rubbed it on, carefully remove the top layer of transfer paper, and your boat will proudly display her name.I bought the graphics for my first boat at the Strictly Sail show, and paid through the nose. The local sign shop did the name for the second boat much cheaper and there was no waiting and no difference that I can tell. The graphics have been on the boat for three seasons (we now live in Wisconsin) and there has been no cracking, fading or damage. When I changed state registration numbers, I had to take the old ones off, and they were well attached after two years.Mike PajewskiH26 "Loon"
