I know I'm a bit ahead of myself, but I got to thinking about where to put the name of my boat.Â
I like the idea of a bronze nameplate but... trailboards seem a little pretentious for a rowboat, and there's no transom to display a name, so what do I do? Did they even bother to name peapods? Maybe a little bronze badge with the builder's (my) name and some identifying specs? What is the etiquette for such a boat regarding names, leaning toward the traditional?
Not sure if I trust myself to properly paint the name under the outwale, but maybe it's not so hard?
Opinions and experience please?Â
Thx.
