Many years ago (I think before I got my M15 in 1984) I saw an article in a yachting magazine or maybe SBJ on using gold leaf on boat names. It was pretty cool, so just now I searched the web to see what was around, and you can actually order gold leaf vinyl letters to put on your boat. Runs around $40-$45 per foot at this site. https://www.seamaidboatlettering.com/orderform.html You tell them the height of letters, the length of lettering, color, style, etc, and they send you the letters ready to put on.
