I came across a great web site this week for designing the lettering for your boat: doityourselflettering.com
It will show your name in all different fonts at the same time, you can change main color, border colors, shadow, width, height.... Best I've ever seen, really fast service too so I have to pass it on.

I'm thinking about naming mine "Liquid Courage". What do you think?

I considered naming mine "Kamikaze" at one point, the translation being, "Divine Wind." I decided against it due to antagonistic attitudes left over from WWII. You'll need to drink some Long Island Iced Teas at the Sebastian Inlet Inn to go wtih the name.

I know quite a few EE's from Purdue, and that would fit them all nicely!

The rate I'm going I should name mine something along the lines of keeping the pointy end upwards.

I named mine:
"Just like a Women"

Because I bought it, all up, trailer and two beater suits of sails for $100.00

So "just like a Woman" the rigging cost me way more than the hull !
