Seacraft Decals
 
Does anybody know where I can find these two color decals? I've looked on ebay but I'm not seeing anything there that I want to use.

Your local graphics shop should be able to do whatever you like..

Your sticker shown is not original, I imagine it was a 2 sticker overlay from a sign shop. The font that is closest is Garamond, and that is what font yours appears to be but if you compare it to this original 1974 logo you will see that the S & C is different. The little kicker on the top of the "C" is not on the original and there would be one on the "S" too but rubbed off in your pic. I make my own at my dads house. He has a vinyl cutter and I use the Garamond font and when done I just take a razor blade and cut the top tips off of the S & C and it looks close enough for me. The top of the "f" is rounder at the bottom tip and there is other small differences but the S & C are the ones that stand out. There is some members up here that has the file of the exact original logo layout and you can take it to the sign shop and get a exact with that or he may be able to get something off the web to copy. There is a program my dad has that you can take standard jpegs or other picture files and run it and it will clean up the edges and un-pixelated it so the cutter will cut a cleaner edge around the letters. If you use a file just make sure you do this and get rid of the pixels so it will cut out cleaner.

I swear it looks like my wife has been driving your boat! You know, she navigates by braille. See if you can get a quote on a 100' roll like labels would come in, then we would be good for 6 months or so. It's either that or we lash tires all the way around like a tug boat. I keep telling her "Neutral can actually still be a speed".

Thanks for the reply's guys.

Frizz- I appreciate you taking the time to post with the info on the font type. I didn't think my decals were the original but I do think the 2 color scheme does go well with the boat so I decided to keep them the same. I found a graphics/decal guy on another site who is making me a pair of the black over silver.

Terry- I guess I'm happy to say that the decals were like that when I got the boat and I can't claim responsibility for that one. Unfortunately the aft bilge vent on that side got it too... Should be looking good soon with new decals and vents all the way around.

I had black and silver ones made. I think they look good.
