Naming a boat and graphics
 

My daughter wants to put her name for our little boat on the boat.

What are freshwater boat naming rituals?
What heading do I look under in the yellow pages for someone that can do the
graphics?

Whatever you decide to make them.

Just look under graphics or boat graphics. You can even get it done over
the internet (probably your best bet, provided you are clear on what you
want and get a final proof of what they propose.)

They are quite easy to install.

I just went to one of the local sign shops and had one made out of vinyl. It
cost about $30, and has lasted for about five years now. I figured it'd last a
year or two and then I'd buy a better one.

I'm talking about a sign shop in a strip mall, nothing fancy. Many seem to be
run by Koreans.

It's a superstition so follow your own rules. Simple text is cheap,
custom graphics like Harry has are quite a bit more unless they are
stock graphics.

My dealer recommended a local graphics artist who worked me with to create
and then apply the following, along with the required boat numbers.

My recollection is that she charged about $200 for everything, including a
visit to the boat for measurements, cutting the vinyl and applying it.

Nice touch with the skull and cross bones. My daughter wants to name our
boat ChatterBox (after herself). Can't think of a good image to go with the
name. Any G rated ideas?

They are as many and as varied as they could possibly be.

That's because most of them are made up.

Make your own up. :)

Lettering, signs or graphics.

The local graphics places do letters quickly and easily.

Ok, sounds like the graphics are nothing special just 'cause its a boat.
Thanks.

It'll be a first naming, so I'll let the kids make up a naming ritual.
And the graphics will probably be letters only, unless...

As "expensive" graphics go, mine weren't.

Well, they might charge me more since my boat is only a freshwater boat! ;-)
