Pontoon Boat Name Location

thinkxingu · 04-22-2016, 07:04 AM

Hi! Haven't seen a ton of pontoon boats named, but the kids want to name ours. Since there's no stern to speak of, and the engine gets in the way of seeing the back fence, where do/have people put them?

I was wonder the same thing I ended up deciding on a flag with the boats name on it in lieu of lettering it.

no reason you cant letter the sides.

Pretty good idea--where'd you have it made, and did it come out good?

I was thinking that, or going with the rear corner that angles in.

BoatUS has a lettering/sign service. I've always liked the idea of a sign board that can be removed and hung on the wall when you sell the boat.

Gator signs is the only way to go!

So there are graphics and model things on the side--maybe be too busy to put the name there? Also, the kids really like their doggy Jolly Roger flag, so...

Looks to me like on the Stern blue panel would be a good spot !

Thought I'd finish this thread--Stacey from Tilton Graphics used my son's writing to create the vinyl for Boatie Two, which we're thrilled with! I recommend them unequivocally.
