FWIW, The font that I used, shown above, was "AeroExtended." Which may be worth noting because 4-inch high letters, which fit within the cove stripe, are twice as large as most other fonts. i.e. Short and Fat. Because of this, and the design, it is more legible at a distance than most of the "cute" fonts.
(The drawback is that it's very difficult to find this as a downloadable font, if one wishes to coordinate logbook stationery, gear labels, etc.
Yeah, I was that bored one day last winter.)

Thanks for the welcome Christian- I've enjoyed your videos online.

The two Holland designed Ericsons have large transoms and side boarding ladders so the transom is the easy and obvious choice for the name. I got mine from Do It Yourself Lettering on the web
www.diylettering.com
Their website lets you play around with all the design details of the graphic so you can see how it looks and also see what overall size it will wind up being.
I found adding a white outline to the letters really made the silver shadow effect jump out. My graphic letters wound up being 16 inches tall to fill the space.

I'm with the people who go for big and bold. The boat should be recognizable at a distance. The people in the marina know the boat by the slip it's in.

I am a traditionalist- names go on the stern. If my boat was named Arcturus I would have kept it. (I am also an amateur astronomer) That's a very nice name. Hmmm- I still haven't put the name on our boat yet.
