Boat Name Vinyl Placement

I do vinyl work on the side, and my professional opinion is to stick around your stainless rails. You could do above like Dredd's first pic, you'll have an inch or two extra for height. Although, below the stainless rails might be your best option, if you can split your words around the shield logo. With the small area on the right, you could have enough space to add a "Port of..." decal if you wanted to do that.

I think making a rounded arch would be too complicated and would be too busy looking, especially with the shield, inlaid Mariah script, and the fuel tank vent.

And snap in carpet on the swim deck was not standard or an option. Oregondunes added that

I got mine done through Overton's. You just need length and height measurements of the area you want to fill. When you input the name with the measurements they will give you a mock picture of what it will look like. If I remember correctly the site will make adjustments for font and style of letter. It worked out pretty good for me.

Let's see if the pic attaches. If it doesn't work you can see my boat pics under my posts. "New to the Owners Club" HAHA it worked!

Eric ,
You got a bigger pic? I'm old.

Just messin' with ya!
Can you resize it?

I'm not sure how to resize it. If you click on my name and go to my posts you can see the original post under "New to the Owners Club" I have a bunch of pics there. Until I figure out the resizing that'll have to work.

Let's see if this works.

Now we're talkin'!
Looks good.
Last boat I named...........well it didn't last too long.
So , these days it's just a "Mariah"!! Even if it is a small one!

I find that this boating is a sickness! I have only had my Z255 since the beginning of June and I want to go bigger and faster already. I think I will install some Corsa Captains call on her this spring and see if that calms me down for a few years. The guy at Corsa said it would be around $1700 for a kit depending on if they need to make any special bends. I think it will be more like $2500 because the boat doesn't have much room. I may have to go with the side exit exhaust.
