Guys,
I have a unique question. I just bought a fully composite dinghy (white color, 7.5' LOA , 50lbs). It'll be mounted on my swim platform on Weaver davits on it's side (so it'll be blocking my boat name/port on the transom ). My boat is USCG documented so I'll need to display the boat name on the side......Or do I???
I got the idea to paint my boat's name/port on the bottom of my dinghy. Whattya think??? Yay or nay? I'd say that 95% of my dinghy's life will be spent high/dry and out of the salt water. So I'm not gonna be painting the bottom (anti fouling).
What type of paint would I use? Would simple stencil letters work? Do they make different stencil fonts? Could I use vinyl graphics? That would be nice but the bottom of my dinghy is not flat....there are actually "strakes" and a "keel"!
Here's my new dinghy.
