Anyone know of a place in the Gilford area that makes custom bow numbers quickly?? I need to get some for this weekend for a new PWC and completely spaced it. I checked Sports and Marine Parafunalia's web site and they don't make them that I can see. Anyplace else around the area??
As always thanks for the help!!

Rob at Irwin's has a machine and I have also used Gator signs but have not been there this year to see if they are open yet.

Right caross from Gilford home center. Coming from wallmart go to 2nd set of lights take right. Take a left behind Dunkin donuts & gas station, go about 100 feet gilford home center on right and gator signs is on left.
He does good work and has great prices especially if your willing to do cash & carry and install it yourself.

Dan, I use Gator as well. An easier landmark to look for is Watermark, they are between Watermark and the airport gas station. They will make them up for you on the spot and install them. On Mother's Day in the blowing wind they came outside, helped me strip the Ohio numbers off the Baha and installed new ones.
Sounds like the Yamaha is hitting the water? I am probably splashing mine too for the first run.

Just had our boat name done at Gator Signs on Saturday. Took him about 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend them.

I bought a number and letter kit from a pwc dealer for my last two boats,about 20 bucks and simply apply. Also cool design not plain colored numbers and never a problem from MP or CG when in FL.

Yes, finally splashing the Yamaha! I am a little intimidated as I have never really owned one previously, just rented. Been going through the manuals and trying to remember everything the dealer ran me through when I bought it. Hopefully all goes well...

You certainly didnt buy a slow one for your first... You will be quite surprised the first time you pin the throttle. The SHO is a screamer.

Gator is also a member of the forum family and donated a gift certificate to last years forum fest. (which I was lucky enough to win)

I have used Gator before and also vouch for them.
They were in cramped quarters over at Silver Sands Marina when I first used them then they moved to a small store front building near Patrick's when I needed them again. It sounds like they have moved to a larger place near Agway now.

I will see your 30-06 casing and neck it down to 7mm, cuts holes at 300yds with 6" of drop, 160 grain factories. :laugh: What am I?
I also recommend Gator, super turn around. Unless you are looking for something totally custom, give a call on your way up and they should be done when you get there.

280 Remington sometimes called 7mm/ 06. (The 280 Remington is a tiny bit longer in the shoulder.)

280 Remington
You got it.:D
Dave you were very close and depending on who you ask its the same caliper.
Sorry for the complete thread derailment, but I am glad to see more than one person here shares a similar interest.
