Does anyone have examples/pics of where to place the name on a 242? There’s very little space above the swim platform, but thinking I will remove the other factory decals to make some room. Would love to see what others have done.

We’re thinking Bella Vita for the name... not a great pun, but love Italy and relaxing on the water so it came together nicely. And it’s such a nice feminine name for the gorgeous 242.

Great name! No input on 242 name location though.

Yea you can remove the 242 and put it right there before the sunpad. Prob best spot for it. It's a large enough area.

Well, there's no turning back now. Just ordered custom bumper covers with "Bella Vita" embroidered in a nice script font. Should look great!

Still need to put the port on to be in compliance (decal was to large) but she finally has a name :D

My daughter’s nickname is Lu-Lee, all of our previous boats have been named simply “Lu-Lee” but since she’s gotten older she has acquired a taste for the finer things. LOL
So I felt this would be appropriate!

We've been waiting for the right boat to use this name, and we figure the 26SD is the one. The body of water that separates PEI from mainland Canada is the Northumberland Strait. It's where we do most of our boating. We also co own a distillery which bottles all products under the Strait product line: Strait Shine, Strait Rum, Strait Gin, Strait Vodka etc.

So why not go boating on....STRAIT SHOTS
