Just remember most of that material has a very limited outdoor life expectancy.

I don't have any boat names to show you but I can make you one. I think I have some material in the shop I can send you if you want to look at.

I dont have a specific example in mind, but google images has some nice pictures:

Also, you might consider stainless cnc cut. It's not cheap, but it's classy. My next boat will have stainless letters on the transom.

Another thought: could you get more life out of a reflective boat name if it was covered in clear vinyl or clear auto paint? Might be able to get some clearcoat in a spray can and mask off the letters for an easy paint job...

Here is the link to the company ''SignGold'' that produces the 22k vinyl. It is pricey material but since it is real gold it lasts indefinately.
