Hello everyone, just looking for some suggestions on Boat Lettering verses painting a name on the2003  290 fiesta we are picking up this week to replace our previous Rinker. we have been looking at vinyl lettering. looking for some suggestions and what everyone thinks thanks in advance for the input

I like the vinyl lettering.  The last two boats I had, the lettering was on for 6-7years and still looked good when I sold.  My current boat has been 2 years now and looks like the day I put it on.

I don't have any experience with paint, but vinyl is so easy, you can do awesome designs with it and if you get UV resistant vinyl it lasts a long time (some come with 10 year warranties on color fade). I wouldn't paint.

Most print shops or sign makers can print your boat name in any font, colour or design.  They just print it to a venal sheet ,cut it and install.  I had ours done for the 250FV and installed it myself.  It wasn't too difficult and total it was $75.

Have fun with your new boat.

I agree, I'm happy with our vinyl lettering. We had the MC numbers matched to the font & color of the name and it looks real nice. It's only been one season, but its held up great.

Plus, the next owner would likely want to change the name so they'd probably look at paint as a negative.

We ended up paying a local shop some decent bucks to design & install, but initally we were going to go through BoatUS which has custom design service on the website. I think it was going to be under $100 for two names and two MC numbers. I was nervous about installing it myself, so I let the pros handle it.

This is off the back of our '04 290.  Vinyl is the way to go.  Fun to get creative with it.
