I used the cobalt font. Kept it all the same on the boat. Clean and simple.

Yeah, the Cobalt font looks like Linotype Old Style 7 with a bit of manual stretching from side to side, but none of the sites I visited made a provision for that. I went with something a little more whimsical, but still a serif font:

Looks good and I like the name.

I'm going with some sort of script... still have to measure.

Liquid, I checked out a bunch of sites and ended up using doityourselflettering.com. They have almost 40 script fonts, and their preview tool is pretty good compared to many of the others. I also paid a few extra bucks for the premium 3M vinyl, but time will tell how it holds up.

Looks nice.
I just bought a new head unit for mine and a little boat bling.

Installed my new bling today and went for a ride before the clouds came rolling in and rained on us today. Had the forward rebuilt prop on before I bought the boat. oh well put the top up and went slow so everyone stayed dry. All of the low speed vibration is gone and much smoother. Didn't give her a wot run. I was cruising and heard a bunch of beeps then it stopped and then a half hour later heard it again this time while I was stopped it was a darn commercial on the radio. Had me all paranoid.

Do you have the CPS remotes? Do they control the new Sony head unit? Any issues?

Yep at the helm and at the transom. I made sure this head unit had that connection. Nut sure if every button works. All I cared is the volume worked. Another reason I stayed with Sony. Three other guys on another forum have the same unit.

Lmao
That's awesome you saw that. I should have included that in my upgrades. I had to go see John at the Mall of America for that. All of ours are closed. I have had a Hooters key chain on every boat I own. I don't know what I have with it but it's just what it is. Lol

Do you have the basic sound system or the premium with a sub woofer?

That head unit looks sweeeeeet. I can't stand the radio issue. Basically left "Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits '74 - '78" in the cd player all last summer.

This year the CD player is a little wonky... works intermittently. It's a Sony and has an Aux chord input so I'm thinking I'll just run Pandora off my phone or plug in the iPod.

Any spotiness with the streaming radio?
