Nice when the boat is ready which should be very soon I'm going to need those also.

And. I also want to see if you can make the decals to replace the plastic logos for the engine cowling which are in poor shape and hard to find. I would need 2 of the Evinrude and 1 of the V6 .

Would you be able to reproduce those? And I thought of doing something in cursive like the intruder logo of the cowling

Let me know if you can do this

Garamond is real close. I cut mine on my dads vinyl cutter/printer using the Garamond font and then just hand trim the vinyl while on the backing paper so they match the originals a little closer. If you used Garamond and didn't modify it you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you had originals to compare to side by side.


You can use Garamond here as a font while typing a post. It's in the drop down box up top: Sea Craft
Very Very Close if you just want the name and don't want the square "S" emblems in front of it.
All of my boats in the signature section are typed in Garamond below

I spoke with him when I purchased and he's fairly local to me... At the time I ordered he had two different usernames on ebay, but I don't recall the other one.

Here's the "off-white" ones:

At the time I bought mine I second-guessed my color choice, thinking I should have gone with "off-white" to match my Johnson OB, and general old-faded look of my boat. My originals had faded and tanned quite a bit over the years, so tough to tell what was originally there. I don't recall a part number on them. Good luck and don't buy them all! lol

I added a blue boot stripe that matches the blue "swirl" since this photo.

I reinstalled those vents on my 23' but quickly found they didn't get along with fenders. I built 1" aluminum angle frames and all is good.

That is true about the fragility of the vents, but my crew and I have a process of stringing a large bumper horizontally from rear cleat to mid (with a loop around the railing) whereas the rear fender sits just in front of the vent. Going on the third summer I think and haven't broken one yet Ideally one wouldn't have to worry about them standing proud of the side of the hull... That's a good solution you've come up with with the aluminum angle.
