Michael indicated that he could easily do this. He has a Mac so that makes it easy. I'll point him to this thread.

Count me in. My blue hull needs all the help it can get.

I don't know about plastic, but a nice SS plate would be awesome. I'm going to price this.

Ok guys and gals What kind of replacement signs are we thinking? I can laser cut or router cut into a lot of things.

stainless steel with a fiber marking might last forever. I would like to use a thin piece of steel mounted to the original or a replacement plate could even do custom ones with your name here. My boat is in the water so any body got any measurements? I was going to take one off a buddies boat but chose not to since its so pretty and clean. I can also have more like the originals made i will look into pricing

My current plastic plate is intact and not very impressive. A SS plaque would make a classy replacement.

Something like this with the MACGREGOR logo on an oval plate.

We make plates like those all the time Russ I will work on some designs. I need to visit this site more often. I think slightly smaller than the black plate will ad a nice border to the SS plate we are cutting tomorrow.

I think a nice script lettering would look nice, but maybe include the words Power Sailor in smaller lettering

I was seriously thinking of replacing the oval name plate with oval portholes that open.

The original plate in SS would be great. Come up with a prototype and I'm sure you will have plenty of takers. Again, my vote is for a NICE SS plate etched. I bet you could get at least 25 boats X2 plates from this website alone. Could market them to BWY who would sell them also.

Very excited about an new name plate.

Cast in brass? (like on real ships?)

Count me in as well. I favour an oval SS plate.

Might want to check with Roger about copyright and /or trademark rights.

I don't own a ship. My boat has lots of SS parts. It's 2014.


As for copyright. Roger doesn't sell boats anymore. If he has a problem with making his boats look better and wants to sue for it, that would make him look like a real ass hat.

Don't cha hate lawyers?
