Got a burgundy sweetwater and trying to figure out the best color to go with for our boat name. I was thinking gold metallic with black shadowing since the boat has some gold accent colors. I would just hate to order and it look terrible. Thoughts. I have attached a picture of our boat in the showroom.

Gold with White shadowing will probably stand out better, or white with gold shadowing.

Nice boat -- I see you got the "small child" option added - LOL

I also agree with Bob on the lettering.

Ours is red. The name is gold with a black outline.

"RadioFlyer" or similar ? Just a suggestion... looks like the old wagon I used to pull around when I was a kid..

Well Bob has a good idea, what about the name in the same Silver color you have now. Mine was easy,

Use the same coloring as the factory lettering on the side of the boat. We're doing our registration numbers in the same font and color as the factory lettering on our boat (albeit a bit larger to comply with our state's minimum registration number size).

Here's a link to aplace that makes custom decals and has an online prototype page.

Set the background to your boat color then play around with colors and font.

I had the POs naming on my Fisher, It was peeling so i went a head and removed it. But that left two shades of green. SO i opted for an oval with the name in it.

If your wondering about the name, I'm a Divemaster.
