Saugeye,My condolences on the loss of your sister.Naming your boat after her is a nice tribute.
I went with a sand color to match the the canvas work on the top.I was unsure as what to do for color but I think it looks good against the red.
I'm not all that happy with the lettering style,my buddy owns a sign shop and I wanted him to do the lettering as his artistic talents are top notch.
Unfortunately,he was away at the time,so he had one of his new trainees do it.I'm going to have it done with a different style letter font at some point.
