Final assembly - transom lettering
I wanted to enhance the mahogany transom by putting on a high-quality gold lettering. I found a place online called www.doityourselflettering.com that allows you to design your lettering, choose fonts and effects, size it, and you get your lettering in the mail a few days later. This ended up costing less than $10 (they sent me 3 of them in case I screwed it up!). I was originally going to try and hand paint them but this obviously looks a lot better.
For those who care where the name came from, watch the movie "Caddyshack" some time and you'll see :-)

| The lettering came with clear directions. This is exactly how I installed the lettering on my real boat :-) |
