Where to put name on stern of 2006 Cobalt 282.

Hello all,
Has anyone come up with a reasonable/creative way to put the boat's name on a 282? The hinges for the engine hatch are defeating the sign company. The graphic for the name requires the maximum amount of vertical space I can obtain. Any pictures anyone has would be welcome. (This is my winter project)
TIA.

Hey Markus..
Yeah that 282 looks familiar
It was Documented with USCG so you’ll see a hailing port name below.
Going over the handle and hinges made the best sence.
Plus the 282 on the other side balances it.

As I'm reading this, a song is going thru my head: I think it's Styx: Too Much Time on My Hand.

A. Thanks.
B. Tommy Shaw is awesome!
C. The graphic (F-18 jet ) needs to be tall as it is going vertical. Too short and it looks distorted. That is why I am trying to figure out how to get as much space up from swim platform.
D. I do have too much time also!

In the middle 90's, when Mississippi casinos where prime destinations, Horseshoe Casino used to have a Styx concert every year.
That's when I first realized that Styx had an almost cult following, similar to the Greatfull Dead and Phish. I'd deal to some of the same people every year who would come in from all over the country.
To get this back on topic, "STYX" would be a good name and it would fit in smaller places.

1. If boating on a river Styx would be a good name. Alas I am stuck on beautiful Lake Michigan.
2. The "Tommy Shaw" would be slightly weird I think.
3. The boat name is "One Day" because I bought it to use one day a year to watch the Blue Angels and / or Thunderbirds on the water at the Traverse City airshow. By far the best day of the summer! (Covid has forced cancellation of the air show the last two years but not cancellation of the Beer Tent downtown. Makes perfect sense) That is why I am trying to fit the jet graphic onto the transom.
