Mack,

I decided not to hijack the other thread so I am starting a new one for you. I have used a place in Florida for both of my boats.
https://www.myboatsign.com/ I did my little boat about 8 years ago. Went on with one small problem, I tore one of the letters, they sent me just that letter for free to fix my mistake. After 8 years, it is still holding up except for some areas that have been rubbed, scraped, or dried due to negligence.

5 years ago, I decided to use them again for the Bertram. I went with imitation gold leaf and it still looks perfect. They also gaurantee against fading, so anything mentioned about metallic fading, I have no idea what they are talking about. The name on the Bertram looks as good as it did the day I put it on. If you decide to call them ask for Mike and mention my name.

One more thing to consider.....if you decide to change the name of your boat, make sure to follow proper denaming and renaming procedures.

Thanks Harv. I think I am going to do a quick touch up of the existing name for the time being. I am very close to splashing (like next week) and I would like to get a jump on the spring Chesapeake striper run. Definitely going to put more thought into the name change and go with the stick on. Perhaps a project for next winter. Looks like your guy did a great job with the design.

Boat re-naming ceremony is a must, however I think part of it involves running her aground (which is fine in a sailboat, potentially expensite with a Bertram). Maybe I could just nudge the bow into the mud over by John F.'s cove.

What do I do at the unnaming part when I don't know the previous name and have no way of researching same?

Call it "Boat Doe".............?
