"Sportfisherman"

looks like a fresh (and poor) tattoo.

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

Can't to anything abot that - it's in the gel coat.

Hmmm - need to think about this some more.

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.

think - the drop shadow a little too much?

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.

"Team Shortwave" should all be on one line.

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.

Um - the red graphics are on the console and came with the boat - I
was talking about the blue and gold.

What about the TSO vid? Is that a closed subject?
Oh - I'm sorry - really, I forgot all about it.

As soon as I get back, I'll send it off to you. I don't even know
where it is at the moment - my office is in disarray because of the
remodeling project.

Well, the red graphics, IMO, detract from the overall effect. It looks
like it should all go together. Maybe a little separation and some
bigger lettering would help. The blue with the shadow looks good up
close, but from a distance the shadow shows very little. Have you
considered a red shadow to match the lettering above?

Also, I'd consider putting 'Team Shortwave' on one line, about where
the word 'Shortwave' is now. It would stand out better.

Hell, I'd take the '200C Sportfisherman' off the damn boat. You could
always spend ten dollars for some more lettering when and if you sell
the boat. Then you could go crazy with the 'Team Sportfishing'!

I thought of that - maybe the next one I'll have made up like that and
see what happens.

At the moment, I'm a little annoyed at the graphics place - it was
supposed to be done in 3M reflective vinyl and it wasn't.

THAT ****ed me off. :)

Plus, I don't like the font anymore - need to find a new one.

Nah, that is stupid. Just cover it with duct tape.
Good idea!!!

That will improve the looks a lot.

What do you think - silver or black?
They do make it in white.. ask the NEMA officials (ugh)


And many other colors. NASCAR teams match the duct tape color with the
car color.
Yeah, I know... Ugh.. The officials made us change plate colors about 5
minutes before practice last race. Duct tape, is great... WD 40 too.. We
use if for everything.

I'll bet your wife would prefer you using....K-Y.


K-Y?? Hell, I bet his wife wishes he'd use someone elses' 'equipment'
