| Doug,
I don't know of any specific ones, but look in the yellow pages
under "Signs". There are several listed in my book.
Another possibility is BOAT/US. They have an order form where you
can select from several different lettering styles, sizes, and
colors. They will custom make your lettering with stick-on material
that you apply yourself. One advantage to this stuff is that you
can save a copy of the order form and if the lettering should ever
get damaged you can order an exact replacement.
Call: BOAT/US

| Go see Norman Lowe on route 38 in Dracut.Ma. He does good work at
a fair price. I've had him do some boat painting for me in the past
Anoter alternitine is the stick on Vynal letters. I applied them
to "Rainbow Chaser" and they look very good and are not hard to
put on. a benifit is they peal off when you want them to., Come
time to paint the hull or if a letter gets damaged? Rather than
paint that peals and will require a pro to repaint.
There are many graphic supplie houses in the boston area . I called
one in Sommerville, Ma.
Price ? " RAINBOW CHASER" 8" letters " NEWBURYPORT,MA." 4" letters
$65. american clams

73.4 | why? | MSCSSE::BERENS | Alan Berens | Thu Jul 14 1988 16:58 | 7 |
| re .0:
If I were a Coast Guard officer deciding which boats to randomly board
to search for drugs, I'd certainly choose to board a boat named 'BAD TO
THE BONE'. I've always wondered why people give their boat a name that
simply begs for harrassment by the police and Coast Guard.

| Another name that gives me that warm comfortable feeling is
"raising hell", I can't remeber others but have seen some
great ones usually on those "cigarete" type boats as they
plow by you leaving you rolling in their wake. I really
find it offensive to get behind these type of boats that
exhaust above the water (read: sound like a car with no muffler)
and have to listen to that while going through a no wake area.

Perhaps he has no drugs and enjoys see the Coast Guard waste
their time. I know in the current climate I do.
Better check those expiration dates on your flares before you
end up with your boat seized.

73.7 | What's in a name? | SETH::WHYNOT | | Fri Jul 15 1988 09:47 | 10 |
| re: .4,.6;
I didn't ask his reasoning for naming his boat this, although he's
no saint. (you can choose your friends but not you're relatives,
right?) But anyway, this boat looks pretty unsuspicious compared
to many out there, and he drives it very responsibly.
For what it's worth, my previous boat was named "REBEL REBEL".
That wasn't me, that was the boat, because it was so darn tempermental.

| When I got my last boat I had dreamed about having a nice little
bay boat. Then I finally got one. It was a 15' center console made
in Florida called a Seaquirt. Just about everytime I went out in
this boat I got wet from chop/spray hence the name.........
WET DREAM
One day when I didn't make it back to my girlfriends house in
time with her two younger brothers (due to a very large school of
snapper blues that wouldn't leave us alone), she got worried and
called the coast guard. They asked the usual questions, i.e. size,
color, make, and name. After passing this info to the CG, the man
taking the info asked if this was a crank call :-)
