Hmmm, now it kinda looks like an unpronounceable Norwegian word.
Honestly, after all we’ve seen of your work, anything you choose is going to look great.
Haha that would tie back to my Scandinavian ancestry roots nicely then

Personally I think that C is more timeless and less limiting. The logo forces an association. Do you really want to have a marlin fishing conversation or whale watching convo with everyone you meet on the dock? Just a thought.

I’d ask what’s the association between name and a fish? Is because you are a marlin’s fan? Love fishing? That could be the case, but I still don’t see the connection with the name. Maybe a tilted planet earth is more related to the name.... just my ramblings. I’d vote for no fish with emphasis on nice lettering. Btw, your boat looks awesome.

No graphics with the name.
Just my opinion.

Nothing wrong with some graphics in a boat's name - IMHO!!
Of course we went a little "overboard" on our artistically drawn boat name - LOL There's decades of background in those words and figures!
With Matt being such an avid fisherman the breaching fish looks good in the name. He might even like to include [aside from the name but on transom or salon sides] a cool depiction of a deep sea diver... seeing as he is also an avid diver.
Go Matt - GO!!

Ask and you shall receive lol. The name solstice derives from an orca felicity and I adopted a few years ago. That was also our driving force behind the colour scheme
The association is that the name solstice derives from an orca felicity and I adopted a few years ago. That was also our driving force behind the colour scheme so I’m happy to have the discussion

Greetings,
Mr. H. MY opinion: Name only. Perhaps an inset of an Orca somewhere else, either on the transom or house.
solstice (n.)mid-13c., from Old French solstice (13c.), from Latin solstitium "point at which the sun seems to stand still," especially the summer solstice, from sol "the sun" (from PIE root *sawel- "the sun") + past participle stem of sistere "stand still, take a stand; to set, place, cause to stand," from PIE *si-st-, reduplicated form of root *sta- "to stand, make or be firm." In early use, Englished as sunstead (late Old English sunstede).
Stand firm!

I am partial to Orcas.
Back to the boat this morning to polish out and blend the paint I sprayed yesterday but it wasn’t quite ready so I jumped up on the bow and placed out the bow bling ready for fitting off next week then touched up the white where it got damaged lifting up the bow rail.

Matt, I feel like quoting Con the fruiterer at this point, and say, when finished...
"she is going to look bewdiful..!"
Pronounced as...'beeyuudafoooool'
(sorry, only Aussies will get this)

When the boat is finished and you can find a enough wall space, hang a picture of "what I started with" boat picture. That will remind you and impress all those who venture out with you. SMILE
Matt - That was my choice too for you!
Hope there are mags or newspapers or even local TV stations that have an inkling as to the monumental task you so professionally have accomplished.
A book could be written on your seven years of boat rebuilding progress... from near 0 to 100++ %.
There will be many, many of those who have many $$$$ at their avail who would want to hire you to do things for them. Not only marine items... but... nearly anything that can be conceived
Talk about a story!!
Happy SPLASH when it arrives!
