Do you put your boat name on your boat?

Post by Nhabash »

Hi All - Just got my 2018 220S a month ago and was wondering if y'al put your boat name on the boat and where do you place it. Looking at the transom of 2018 220 I can't see enough space to place a boat name! Any ideas and/or pictures would be appreciated. Thanks

I'll be naming mine. I do vinyl work as a hobby so it just costs me my time.

It earned the name, lol. Haven't had enough time on the Cobalt yet to find the right name.

My wife won't let me put the name on our boat. Maybe because I want to name it "Size Matters" since I have an R7 and my brother has an R5.

Thank you all for your reply. As always, everybody on this forum is helpful.

@ytmsn - The boat is in storage now. I will upload pictures when I put it back in the water next season and do an introductory thread.

As I read my post, I quickly realized my question maybe a bit misleading. I did see the thread Ytmsn pointed out before I posted my question, so I knew people here do put the boat name on the boat.

My question was really more about the 2018 220S, which has a transom that does not give enough space (with Cobalt and dealer markings already in place) to add your boat name. So I was interested in specifically 2017+ 220s boats that have a boat name on it.

Using a stock photo (see below), I think this would be the logical place to add boat name, unfortunately though this is what the dealer thought would be the perfect place to install their markings!

Nhabash, what are your thoughts on removing the dealer markings using a heat gun or simple hair dryer combined with a little goo gone? That’s the direction I would prefer on your 220 with limited name space.

Great idea AsLan, will have to consider that. I do consider myself handy with heat guns and removal (more like destruction lol) of things, but in this case I would probably find someone to professionally do it so as not to damage my boat this early. Thank you for the suggestion.

It's a new boat that sticker all peel right off.

Norris just do it. I like it. Wife will never notice you did it. Heck she doesn't even know what color the boat is.
