I like all except the 'Sportfisherman'. It's too dark. Shadow it like
'Team Shortwave', but make the red a lot brighter. Right now it looks
like it got caught in a big spider web.

I completely agree with what John said, then I found out Sportsfisherman
was not part of the graphics.

I would try to lower Team Shortwave on the console, so it stood out from
the mfg'er's graphics, or even better, remove the mfg'ers graphics
completely. It detracts from the far superior graphics of Team
Shortwave. Who the hell cares if it is a 200C Sportsfisherman.

Can't - it's in the gel coat.

How about covering the whole thing with a decal. It would be nice to
have a picture of a fish or something to show what sort of team you have.

Spacing is weird...almost like three words. Hey, taste is subjective.

I agree after looking at it some more - it's a font called Malibu
Script and I'm not sure I really like it now. I do like the drop
shadow though - that's really nice. The funny thing is it looked
really good on the tape after it was cut - it just didn't translate to
the boat.

Maybe another font? On this I trust your opinion believe it or not.
Any font suggestions?

How about a block font with a smaller Team, larger Shortwave and
smaller S. Woodstock set under the Shortwave and to the right?

Hey - just a test - no harm no foul. Better to spend the $20 bucks to
have it made to see how it looks when it's put together than $600 for
side graphics and then not like it. :)

Thanks for the reply.

I like the shadows, too, which is why I went with this typeface for "Son
of Yo Ho"

Simple colors show up very well against a white or offwhite hull, too.

"Sportfisherman"

looks like a fresh (and poor) tattoo.

can you "non-scrunch" it a bit, Tom?

I didn't like it either. But apparently that's the name of the boat
and the graphics were there from the git-go.

I think he should take a hair dryer to it, and the 200C above it.
