"DIGGIN' IT"

short enough to fit and it is keeping with the theme of what paid for the boat.

Opinions?

Driller that fits you perfectly! I loce it!

Thanks Akor. I'm thinking the script will be the blue color of the bootstripe, and a grey shadow behind each letter. Sorta like this. I thought I liked the red internal coloring (to match the red/white/blue Cobalt logo on the side of the boat) but I think it's too much....it does not tie into anything else, visually, on the boat. Thoughts?

I like that. Nice job

I think that looks great. Will the text overlap the blue and white sections like that? Just thinking it could appear to cut the thinner capital letters in half, if there’s not enough of a drop shadow/backing color to it.

The script and color choices look great though.

Looks like a good design, but from experience I'll tell you that fade out drop shadow doesn't look good unless you are having it printed on vinyl versus layered vinyl. As said, if you're crossing the color line you'll want an offset background color around the letters to pull it together.

With a little trepidation with this group (I'm new but can tell) please help with naming our boat. We've named several cars and that took a while. Our latest was Rouge, (red car, her red hair and was her college nick name), pets take forever, and kids - well that was pretty easy.

Background: I've shown one of the few pics I have of the boat in my intro post, so won't show it here again. 2019 CS 22. Full navy with citron strip. We both are accountants with "big oil' (don't judge please ). My wife is a long time laker I'm coming along. I will not admit she's the better captain. Here's a pic of her on our trial run and yes, I did get the helm on a long boring straight shot.

So far none of these have passed muster (by the way, reading this thread earlier, I'm still laughing at "The Floater")
3/4 Life Crisis (we passed the mid-life timeline)
Bean Counters (I sort of liked, she's meh)
No College Fund (kids won't be amused)
Sink Hole (too negative??)
No 401 (she says canadians wont understand they have RSPs)

Ok, I"m bucked up....what say you??
.

You're story, in regards to the lake, is relatable! Jeff and I are the same! He's pretty nautical now!

As far as names go...

Lost Count
Liquid Asset
Long term asset
Petty cash
Principal Interest

A name I had for mine but the wife said no was...

Pocket change

Thanks Nauti and tgrace - I'll add them to the list over margaritas tonight!!
