Rogerdog, any good sign shop can do the vinyl graphics but I've used this website a couple of times with great success and service.

Rogerdog I used a local sign shop as Larry mentioned,I believe the lettering is made of vinyl.
At first I had a problem with the logo because those shops like to plot their lettering for boats, but with plotting apparently you can't get much dept and detail. Finally I found a shop that printed the logo and laminated that for uv and water protection, ones on the boat I had to paint the edges with clear coat also for protection. All lettering is plotted.

Dang, your latest gallery shots are enough to make a boat builder drool. That and the fact that you were in shirt sleeves last week while most of us were freezing our hind sides off. Really inspiring build.
