Author	Topic:   Boat Cover Lettering
Box_Of_Rain	posted 05-01-2007 12:23 AM ET (US)         I just bought a new Sunbrella boat cover and will have my boat in a busy marina in Southern California for the summer, does anyone have any thoughts on painting the boat idenification #'s on the cover, would that deter a walk by thief, I know if someone wants it they will get it but if it helps I would do it... How would I do it, is this a weekend job or should I leave to the pro's?

Good luck... DaveS
