How do I determine the best size

for my lettering?

For the best fit, measure the height and

width of the area where the lettering will

go. Then determine what size would look

good within that area. Keep in mind that

the size of the lettering depends on

several factors such as:

• The style of font used. • The number of letters in the name. • If the letters are upper or lower case. Here are some guidelines to achieve the maximum impact for your lettering: Total Height: All our lettering is based on the total height of the lettering which is measured from the top of the tallest letter to the bottom of the lowest letter (including the outline or shadow). Keep in mind that the further away you get, the smaller the lettering will appear. For maximum visibility, we suggest that the lettering fill at least 60% of the available space. Maximum Length • Transom: Measure the available width and subtract at least 2 inches (1 inch on either side). • Sides: There is usually no length restriction on the side of boats. For easiest installation, we recommend keeping the length under 96 inches. For boats 25 feet and under, the average length of the lettering is between 36 and 48 inches. For boats over 25 feet, the average length is between 36 and 72 inches. Again, it depends on the lettering variables. For help determining the best size for your lettering, call us at 407-522-1447.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Determine The Best Size For My Lettering?

To get the best fit, we suggest you measure the height and width of the area where

the lettering will go and determine what size would look good within that area. Keep in

mind, the size of your lettering depends on several factors such as:

• The style of font used. • The number of letters in the name. • Whether the letters are upper or lower case

For example, at the same height, a name with 10 letters using a bold font, or in all

capital letters, will be much longer than the same name using a lightweight font or

upper and lower case letters.

Here are some more

guidelines to achieve the

maximum impact for your

lettering:

Total Height:

All our lettering is based on

the total height of the

lettering which is measured

from the top of the tallest

letter to the bottom of the

lowest letter (including the

outline or shadow).

Keep in mind that the further away you get, the smaller the lettering will appear. For

maximum visibility, we suggest that the lettering fill at least 60% of the available space.

Maximum Length: • Transom: Measure the available width and subtract at least 2 inches (1 inch on either side). • Sides: There is usually no length restriction on the side of a boat. However, we recommend keeping the length under 8 feet (96 inches) for easiest installation. For boats 25 feet and under, the average length of the lettering is between 36 and 48 inches. For boats over 25 feet, the length is between 36 and 72 inches. Again, it depends on the total height of the name, how many letters, and the font style used. The maximum length we can make in one piece is 99 inches. For help determining the best size for your lettering, call us at 407-522-1447.

Is The Lettering Easy To Install?

Yes. Your lettering comes pre- spaced on a single sheet (home ports, numbers, and additional names, are on separate sheets), and includes step-by-step application directions as well as plastic squeegee to help you achieve professional results. We are often told that our directions made the installation easier than expected.
