New Caver - where to put the name

[five0clock]

hey, I purchased a Carver 564 cockpit yacht a few weeks ago and can not figure out where to put the name and hailing port. The back of the boat has built in dock boxes, so I think I may have to go with very small lettering. Does anyone have this type of vessel and can shoot me a picture of the transom?

Heh there....have a look at your model boat on yacht world....there are a few options back there that look fine and may give you some ideas of how the go.

Oh dear, don't get me started on design, fonts, positioning, image.... lovely projects!

I had it all figured out for my '92 26/28 fly and never got round to having it printed and sticking it on. (due to mechanical maintenance to be covered first)

It all depends on what you want to shout out to the viewer.

I wanted a sleek, classy, designed look. So I opted to blatandly semi-copy Porsche partly: I had a waterline with the brand/type/model in a line just above the waterline at the back. (Porsche font is broad and sleek, can't show this here, but look at a 199x model's stern and you get my idea)

And I found that a boat name would not 'work' up front as the hull has quite a concave/convex bend. So I opted for more logo and less name. I designed a logo from the name, (also good if you really get on with it and get towels/carpet/caps) so I could place it under the original 'carver' aluminium letters on the sides.

Sold the boat, kept the name, kept the designs. Looking for a boat to make it real

However, my point is that you can do a lot more to tilt YOUR boat apart from the many who just order a name online in microshaft 1990 handwriting font and stick it on the back with a bit of angle that shows you don't know what waterlevel means.

make sure you get your local sticker shop to use the material that withstands UV and water.

Polish first, stick and then seal with wax. Lasts forever.


Next boat... same name, same logo, towels/napkins/cups/carpets... it just works like super-luxury if you get that (for little money in fact). I will consider a more radical approach next time: vertical oversized for example. In the right colours that does not shout 'meathead!' but it shows modern, style, design.

Conclusion and my two cents: spend the winter designing, get crazy, make it YOURs: There are so many white plastic boats with huge tents and dark windows to separate real people from their preceived groomed images.....

I would think the large middle transom locker door would be a good spot.

Are those people standing under the boat in slings without being blocked first? As a Travel Lift operator, that is a big no no.

Yep! That is a good way to see if your head can support the weight of a boat, or stop one from a little swing!

Depending on what her name is going to be, you can also opt to display on port and/or starboard sides. Congrats on purchase! Great boat! er

I am a traditionalist so I prefer to have the name on the stern somewhere.
