• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Howdy all,

I'm looking for a couple of Island Gyspy metallic signs (as in badges) that would ordinarily be attached to the aft external coachhouse. Does anyone know where I can find one that can be sent to Australia?

Cheers,
Dean

Do you have a good picture of what you are looking for? If you can post one, I can draw it up and either cut it out of SS and ship to you, or possibly hook you up with someone with C&C metal cutting capability in Australia. Either way, I can do the autocad design if you can get me a pic of what you are looking for. It's what I do!

Sorry all, this is what I am looking for:
View attachment 112166

It's the badge that usually comes with the boat. Checking some other threads, I think perhaps these are about as rare as hens teeth?

Thanks for your offer though Scot, but I will keep looking for an original one ?

See if you can find Mark Halvorsen. A few years back, he had them. Could be in Hong Kong, maybe not, try searching.

EX-ACTLY!! So you cut that from stainless and then paint it?
Click to expand...

Yes. Or cut from aluminum as well. I would recommend SS though. The drawing I did has some distortion in it because the photo you posted was slightly oblique. Best would be to take a straight on photo from maybe 10 feet away, and zoom in, that way you will eliminate some of the parallax effect.

Stainless is sometimes difficult to get paint to stick, so often an adhesion coating is added before the paint is applied. Also, the cut edges need to be treated with nitric acid, a process called passivation to remove any free iron left over from the cutting process. I would recommend 316 alloy SS, rather than 304 as 316 has superior corrosion resistance.

If you have a more straight on photo, I can draw it up for you. I can then send you the .dxf (autocad) file. You can take to a shop down there and they should be able to import the file into their software and cut it out.

Another option is that you can take a REALLY GOOD picture and have it reproduced in vinyl, for application to your boat, or to a metal or steel background. Even in direct sunlight, the vinyl should retain it's color for maybe 5 years, and replacement vinyl appliques are relatively inexpensive. Take care!:dance:
 
I have no experience but wondering if this could be a good fit for digital 3D printing?
 
Digital printing would work okay, but it's not too thick, so it won't be very strong.
