270 Boat names

manglos27

Have any of you 270 owners put your names in the sides, since the area on the transom is so small?

if so, I’d like to see pics, I’d also like to see pics of those who didn’t as well.

Nope I've never seen it.  My boat name is on the transom.

What name are you trying to put that won't fit?

The name we want to put is “Sentimental Mood” and we’d like to incorporate one of these two graphics.

There’s room on the transom, just have to shrink to fit.  Here’s mine.

@manglos27 I noticed a date on the ad it's from 1938, kinda neet.

@manglos27 Welcome aboard neighbor!  There is a boat on LSC with a photo graphic for the name on the transom.  I can ask him where he had it printed.  It's held up for several years and looks good.

@Stodge
thanks! I’d love to see a pic of how he did it!

Stodge

He had a big sticker printed and stuck it on the trunk.

@Stodge
That looks great!  I just wish I had that big space on mine!

Stodge

The 270 has a fair amount of space on the trunk.  Just work with the space that's there.

I think putting the name on the side of the boat would just look strange.

outboards have it on the side

Documented vessels can have their name where the registration numbers normally go since they are not required to display state registration numbers.  That's in addition to having the name on the transom.  

But I think most folks with documented vessels get tired of explaining to local law enforcement why they don't have their numbers showing and put them on.

We did a little play on words with our last name.  We also have a Youtube channel where we document our boating adventures.

I think I'm going with what I said before....upside down: "time to panic". At least I'd have something on it...

Something like this @Rasbury?

This is my former boat, a 2002 Larson Cabrio 274. Everywhere we went we received waves and finger pointings.
