Vinyl decals for SN Stern Lettering

Keith,

I have been working on this with a girl in Florida. Problem with this and other "one-off" things is the setup costs. While she hasn't gotten back with a hard number yet, the setup alone could be a couple of hundred bucks. Not worth it to me for 1. Maybe we could get several orders together to defray the costs?

Don

I would be willing to go in on the set-up cost. Let me know what you guy's find out.

I will get to see mine tomorrow I took a series of pictures of mine and they scanned them in and worked from there, I will let you know what they look like and how I like them,

Rob

I am going to try and post a picture of the decal on the side that I had done, bear with me as I have never done this.

I have a friend coming over with his digital camera tomorrow, and if everything goes okay I will probably do my diary on Mon. The sign company that I deal with has a large selection of colors and could probably do whatever you need.

Letter this sign shop 419-729-3000, Ask for Lynn, and mention Rob From Glass City Waterski Club.

Sorry I accidently put down my number the correct number is now above.

Keith,
I got your e-mail and mine looks exactly like the picture you posted. I'll measure mine and see if I can get some tracing paper and do a overlay as well.

I want a set IF it will fit around my ladder. I guess I need to wait for exact dimensions before I give the nod.

jameski,

The ladder will have to come off to install the lettering. The vinyl letters come on one large sheet that is applied intact. This is how they keep everything even. One of the other good things with this process is that you can slide the decal up or down to miss the ladder brackets.

On our '78 Nautique, the ladder brackets are just above the 1st 'T' in competition and the 'I' in ski.

Don,

I just repainted my side grahics and masked off the stripe and made it solid. I'm going back with 1/8" pin stripe to create the outline like it was orignally. Also on the stern my stripes are different I have two other stripes that are inline with the compition ski boat lettering, one on each side. I'll try and get a digital camera and take some pictures tomorrow.

Yellowdog,
I was not facturing in the solid lines. If you provide those dementions however, I'm sure those would be easy to get.

CORRECT CRAFT 34-1/16" long 2-3/4" gap between words. 1/2" thick lettering.

COMPETITION SKI BOAT 34-1/16" overall length and 3/8" thick lettering

competition 18-15/16"

gap 1-13/16" at top 1-3/4" at bottom N-S

ski 4-1/4" at top 4-3/8" at bottom

gap 1-13/16"   I-B

boat 7-3/8"

the S is a little different and applies to the left side in regards to the gap, the bottom is at the sharp corner and stickes out 1/8" wider than the vertical tangent point on the curve at the top and this does apply for both side of the S but top/bottom are reversed for the right side of the S

Both are 2" high and the slant is about 30 degrees for CORRECT CRAFT but is a guess and I'll have to get my adjustable triangle out this coming week-end to nail it down exactly.

Keith,

It was '79 that gave you the dimensions, but they are very close to the ones I came up with. I will add that the rake on the letters is 60 degrees on the '78.

You will also have to take me off the list, We are going to re-do the gelcoat this fall to get rid of the spider cracks so the lettering would have to be applied again. Secondly, the woman that lets me live with her is thinking about having the interior re-done (again) so I don't have a clue what accent color she will end up with. Maybe you could let us know who you end up dealing with so we can contact them this winter.

Thanks,

Don

let us know when u need a check sent your way.and thank you guys..for getting this together for us !
the barracuda would like black letters.

Keith, I just took some measurements on my transom. The distance between the top of my (redone) stripe and the ladder bracket is exactly 2". So, I guess I can't participate in the order.

Unless - Maybe your shop could make one for me that is scaled down. I need teal (I can get the exact color chip name if necessary).
