I have a question about lettering. I would like to put some gold lettering on the transom. Does anyone have an opinion on how to do this? Should I buy the sticker letters or should I stencil? Any good websites that sell lettering solutions ?

Last day of painting the hull on the outside. I started (kind of late with this idea but nevertheless) with a makebelieve fairing board (5 inch piece of oak wood wrapped in sandpaper) and sanded the finish with 100 grit. Then I enlisted my wife to help me spread the bubbles on the hull while I run up and down with roller. Things worked out well and we were able to coat both colors (red/white). I have also used the remaining red paint to coat the underside of the seats completely. Therefore I am done with painting the hull. Now I will just wait for this to dry and cure and then flip the boat over and start on gluing the seats.
