I have purchased a new 17 foot Proline and I have two questions:

1) Does anyone know of a good lettering business so that I can have the name put on? I live on the Eastern part of Long Island (Port Jeff, Rocky Point)

2) What exactly is involved in christening a boat?
I found a very interesting post on denaming a boat (http://www.48north.com/denaming.htm). But can't find one on the proper way to christen a boat.

Thanks

Boat Guy-

1. For a boat naming/christening ceremony go here:

2. If you don't find someone on the East End to do your lettering, I can recommend PANORAMA GRAPHICS on Montauk Hway in Lindenhurst.

Good Luck with your boat!!

BoatGuy,

christening a fishing boat is taking it out for the first time, filling the coolers with what your fishing for, getting the first scratch in the gell when docking, launching without the plug, getting a speeding ticket for doing 5 kts in the channel which says 5 mph, and finally letting the fish blood dry on so hard it will be a permanant rememberance of your first day with the new boat.

Good luck. you got a real nice boat (same as mine).
