So curious to know who else has named their TI/AI. What name did you use and do you display on your island? Here's a couple of pictures of the vinyl decals that I just applied.

Excellent! As a software developer, I love it!

The Logo is handdrawn, scanned in and converted into a vector graphic.
The adhesive foil is one that can go on fabric. Just ask a workshop who specialize in advertisment and graphics.

My wife has a Silhouette paper/vinyl cutting machine and offered to cut the graphics for my boat 3-4 yrs ago, which I put on the boat "The Ultimate Tandem Island" is my boats name.
The letters are just standard pressure sensitive vinyl from any place like Michaels, hobby lobby, etc. That was 4 yrs ago and many thousands of miles ago and the letters and artwork are still going strong.
I think the secret is in the surface prep when installing the stickers. I wiped down the hull with Bestest rubber cement thinner (active ingredient in bestest is heptane (which melts hdpe). I then sprayed a thin coat of clear Krylon for plastics (active ingredient is heptane). I then placed the letters on the boat, once everything was dry I sprayed a heavy coat of clear coat over the entire area, with enough paint to bridge the edges of each of the letters.
It really works well.
Here is the artwork on the boat:

Hope this helps
