By far the easiest way to get great looking graphics is just to order them online form "Callies" . I have used all kinds methods. Callies is definitely the best!! Just look her up, describe what what you need and very soon, for a great price, you will get professional graphics, like these.!!

If you have an ink jet printer and a PC you can easily make your own decals.

I am with Lew…custom made decals are a great route.
Although I almost always do my own art make a stencil and then lightly trace directly onto the transom and then hand paint them.
But, to avoid the “steady hand” game (which I do more and more now that I’m getting older) send your original art to an outfit that will print you a decal.

Depends on the look you are trying to achieve. If the real boat has the name painted on, then you will need to either paint it on, use decals, or some very thin vinyl. If the name is raised lettering the you could use some thicker letter stickers. (A lot of model builders use fairly thick plastic letters to simulate a painted on name and it distracts from the model.)
One consideration is wear or scrapes which can damage the name.
I use various methods and the most common is to make my own decals and apply several coats (at least 5) of clear finish over the lettering.

What’s the best way to add boat names ie do you paint them using a template or use stickers ?

Schmango,
Love the picture's of your Sea Rover up on the plane. She looks wicked. Shame about she leaks a bit though.
I have just been and mixed up some good old Cascamite and dribbled
that along the keel of the boat I am building.
But there are plenty of other epoxy resins out her that you can run down the keel to stop the leaks. But she sure looks great oup on the plane.

After all the calculations are done, nothing beats put the boat in the water and see how she goes. Then perform temperature evaluation by putting hand on motor.
Looking great to meeting

Update - the 550 drill motor worked a treat on the 16.4v . I didn’t push it too hard and it still got pretty hot. I think 8.4v will be sufficient so that’s my next test.
Turns out these old boats aren’t made from the best materials….. the skin is leaking around the keel ☹️ which means the old circ 1960 ply is now wet inside my new paint. I should have epoxied it .
