I just did a name change last year. Thankfully the previous owner used decals, they were easy to take off. The bigger issue was cleaning down (white) gelcoat enough to remove shadows.
One very nice tip I'm sure I saw here on the list group was to have an auto signage place make up the decals - 1/2 the price of the boat places, of which I checked several. The same product, I am sure because I checked out samples. For our renaming ceremony we forgot to bring a cedar branch aboard to lay across the bow. We improvised by using a piece of green masking tape - hey it was green and came from a tree, ok ? ;-) There was no way I wasting a good bottle of Veuve Cliquot Champagne, we just gave Neptune a sample.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Steve, I hope you will be following the boat name change ritual. Otherwise, it is bad luck. Depending where you look, some of these procedures are quite elaborate. Marek (in Ottawa) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
