[QUOTE="TheMaestro, post: 272836, member: 8533"] Another early morning on the lake, and it was nice and cool...lots of bites, but no takers...Doesnt matter, its time on the water that counts! This week Im beginning the restore of the motor cowl. The body still has the original Evinrude blue/gray thats in pretty nice condition, but the cowl looks really bad against the fresh paint of the boat. I had a local sign shop that I always saw on my way to work make my boat name and Sylvan replacement decals, so I went back with the cowl to see if they could make replacement decals as close as possible in color and font to the evinrude originals on my 9.9 .. The guy took a ton of measurements and put the cowl on the scanner to get as much original reference as possible. I was really amazed at the turnaround time... one day!, and, he had found a font that was identical to the Evinrude, but the E and N had some funny tails on them, so he used some software to alter the font to make a near perfect match. I cant tell the difference. Here's my motor cowl now, before I start the process this week: [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_00000209.jpg"]40216._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here are some 'action pics' of the [i]Lake Breeze[/i] from this morning... This is on a nearby lake/reservoir...
