[C320-list] boat graphics pricing

[Amirault Family]

When I last did a boat graphic it was for my current Tanzer 8.5 (the 
2001 Catalina hasn't been delivered from Michigan yet). Practical Sailor 
had done an article on the topic and as a test on the online option 
ordered a graphic from www.boat-lettering.com in Canada. PS found it to 
be an excellent option. The site has lettering options, colour choices, 
application directions, and a list of samples.

The price was $67.47 CDN for a graphic with lettering, an outline in a 
second colour, and a shadow; and included directions and an application 
tool. I did the application myself with the aid of a second pair of 
hands and it went on with no problems. The process was such a success 
that the next year I removed the fading painted registration numbers on 
the bow and applied replacement graphics for those. When I placed the 
original order I had my own concept of what I wanted, and was advised by 
the company that the result would not look good while suggesting an 
alternative. When I insisted, they ran up a soft copy of my request and 
e-mailed it to me for approval before cutting the actual graphic. They 
were right and I approved their version instead.

How did it look? See the attachment if the forum allows them. I have 
used them twice and would order from them again.
