Boat name lettering: Recommendations?

[Sticky Fingers]

Can someone recommend me (from your own good experience) a firm to supply and fit vinyl (or whatever) boat name graphics. Want a lettering in a stylish font (tbc) for the transom name and registry lettering, plus boom lettering.

Location Swanwick.

Thanks.

Have used funky monkey but you have to apply yourself. Large range, good prices. Have used three times and will use again.

Just watched the Funky Monkey video. Maybe I'm worrying too much. Were they as easy to apply as it looked?

Yup.

Why not start with something easy like SSR number and see how you get on.

Graham if you are seeking a supply and fit one the available supply might be dependent on where you are based but if you are on Hamble or Gosport there are local suppliers who will send a selection of fonts and apply your preferred graphics. Might find names at local yards . We had a lady who did ours when delivered at Hamble Point .

Had mine made by Elite Signs in Poole. Easy to apply if you follow the instructions. There will be a similar signmaker closer to Swanwick - sure Clipper will recommend one. Far too much choice of fonts - I had a sample sheet of 50 and thy said if I did not like those I could have another 150 or so to choose from

I have found SGC GRAPHICS excellent.

Leone will do a good job for you - she's made up the lettering for my last two boats.

Funky Monkey. Ordered last Wednesday and arrived Friday. Easy to apply, just takes a bit of care.

6 boats all by funky monkey. Good people to deal with & easy to apply.
Even remember me when i call so they get the font right each time as well

Funky Monkey incorporated in 2007. Six boats in 10 years is just greedy.

Lots of support here for Funky Monkey, and my experience can only add to that. Bought the lettering back in 2009, very easy to apply (even to the stern while dangling upside down over the transom) and 8 years later the lettering is still looking as good as when it was first applied.

Not when you have a son & daughter with dinghies who are into sailing it is not.

Lot of love here for FM. Costs seem very reasonable if I can find a font that we both like

I got mine online but cannot remember the supplier, BUT fixing them on is easy, if an idiot like me can do it, anyone can.

I'll give it a go. What can possibly go wrong.... ?
