Well the wonderful State of IL finally got around to sending me my registration numbers after 6 months. So I want to match the font on the side of the boat. Anyone have any ideas what font type is used on the 16 242 L/S boats?

I used domedlettering.com and went with 3inch Arial in white with the domed option. Came out pretty close to factory. Sorry no photos and the boat is wrapped until mid April.

I bought lettering from www.boatletteringtoyou.com and used the Eurostar font. I am replacing the lettering on the side. It was the exact font on my 16 242 Limited SE. This is what they sent me. Good Luck!

I am trying to do registration numbers to match this color and font. Does this site do the domed style that come on our boats? Also, do you know what color that is?

I do believe they have the domed style, but I chose to get just the flat letters....too many issues with the domed letters getting caught on my boat lift straps. This size exactly fits where the current letters are...both in height and width.
