Default Learning vinyl sign application for my new boat the hard way!

In the past I've applied small letters with the dry technique with so-
so results. But on the first try, I screwed up the large letters of
the name for my new NR boat pretty badly.

On my second try - after buying another $20 sign, I finally got my
vinyl lettering of "FishWisher" applied. Having screwed it up badly
the first try, I learned about using soapy water to apply the letters,
then used that technique. It worked quite easily!

If you're planning to apply vinyl lettering any time soon, check out
the photos and a video on my homepage he

Thanks, guys. The boat dry weight is 1500#, the 90 HP Suzuki is 420#,
the trailer is 650# so the total dry weight is 2570 Lbs. But all my
added equipt, electronics and 27 gal gas is likely over 3000 lbs, I
would think.

The North River 17 1/2 has .190 aluminum bottom and transom, .125 side
and 88" beam. Nope, certainly not RAV4 material. Spec page is he

I gave up on vinyl letters, and used wood ones.Gives a 3-d effect, for
a buck a piece.
