I would like to start a new thread by requesting photos of various members transoms. I will be renaming my boat sometime soon, and have been very impressed with the member's clever names, interesting font treatments, and occasionally logos or figures. Time to show 'em off!
Also, it might be a nice exercise for getting up to speed for image posting--if I can help with any issues, PM me.
(Smoothmove--I gotta see that most excellent image on your boat!!)

Transom shots?

Re: Transom shots?
Sure! I just took a transom shot of my boats last week when we were headed east. Nothing too fancy here, just engine turned gold over black on Sweet Melissa and basic black for the little boat.

Elizabeth Nicole ia a rather long name. But I've had many compliments. When the transom door is open only Elizabeth shows up. I used scrap vinyl and messed with it till I got it just right then we cut it, used a gold leaf vinyl and a black drop shadow.

The reel was made from taking a picture of a Penn 50W and you can actually see the screws the detail was great. It is losing some after 8 years now.Dan

Re: Transom shots?
Sky, where's your hailing port? I thought USCG documented vessels were required to have the hailing port in minimum 4" tall letters. I like the font. That new RIB looks fantastic up there too!

Re: Transom shots?
Great thread...without being too nosey...would love to hear how you all came up with your names for your boats...came with the boat, named after someone special, whatever...once we get the boat, we will have to learn about the renaming ceremonies and such...thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Laurie & Jim

Re: Transom shots?
When I was a kid, I remember a guy in our marina named Art and he had an old wooden Pacemaker. I asked him about the name on her and I got a long speech about how a boat should always be named after your first daughter. He was an old Navy man and he was a real salt. I never forgot that and I named my boat after my only daughter, Rebecca.
