I have a 2009 SX210 and there isn't a whole lot of room on the transom for a boat name. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to display my boat name?
You will need to remove some factory warning labels, a.k.a. De-lawyering, they fit back there. This is the one I miss the most.

Ours has always been "Four Cruisin" then, "Four Cruisin Two". Now just "Four Cruisin".

Day One of boat ownership is remove all of those eyesores that are written for the Darwin Award winners.
Logged in just to upvote you. Heat gun, then mineral spirits for the glue, then alcohol, then wax. Only the legally required eyesores survive. I crack up when I'm driving behind a vehicle with selling dealer stickers plastered all over it. I'm thinking "how long are you going to advertise for those guys?" Ditto for the plate frames.

I think the ‘11 is the same?

Thanks for the great idea.
The other side of the grab handle has a warning sticker and the stereo remote, if I remember right. So, there really isn’t a way to center the words like most do. Figured a shortish name on the left side would be fine. We like it.

We have some ideas that might work. Definitely removing the warning stickers. The guy I bought it from replaced the stereo and remote, so I have a much smaller remote than the factory original.

I named my boat "Dory". Perhaps, my lovely daughters chose the name (I guess it's connected with Finding Nemo) :)

Big Chungus 😎 even though it might be one of the smallest boats on this forum 😂 friend said it to me one day, and I couldn’t stop laughing. Ever since then, every big fish, boat, truck, has just been “Big Chungus”. Seemed fitting 25D2BA19-C151-4A66-880C-600B59F1990E.jpeg
