Frequently Asked Questions.

How do I determine the best size for my lettering? To get the best fit, measure the height and width of the area where the lettering will go and determine what size would look good within that area. Keep in mind, the size of your lettering depends on several factors such as: • The style of font used. • The number of letters in the name. • Whether the letters are upper or lower case. For example, at the same height, a name with 10 letters using a bold font, or in all capital letters, will be much longer than the same name using a lightweight font or upper and lower case letters. Here are some more guidelines to achieve the maximum impact for your lettering: Height: The total height of your lettering is measured from the top of the tallest letter to the bottom of the lowest letter (including descending characters like g, y or j), plus any outline or shadow.

For maximum visibility, we suggest that the lettering fill at least 60% of the available space. you get the largest lettering that will fit within the space available on your boat. Length: • Transom: Measure the available width and subtract at least 2 inches (1 inch on either side). • Sides: There is usually no length restriction on the side of a boat. However, we recommend keeping the length at or under 8 feet (96 inches) for easiest installation. For boats 25 feet and under, the average length of the lettering is between 36 and 48 inches. For boats over 25 feet, the length is between 36 and 72 inches. Again, it depends on the total height of the name, how many letters there are, and the font style used. The maximum length we can provide in one piece is 99 inches. For help determining the best size for your lettering, call us at 407-522-1447. Is the lettering easy to install? Yes.
