Any decent sign shop that does boat has transom curvature on file for most boats
In Response To: A straight line doesn't work on most sterns. ()
I know the local place does. If you do it yourself, the trick is to put the letters on individually. I measure down from the top of the transom and put an arc of masking tape on where I want the tops of the letters to be. Then each letter is aligned to the tape using the mark-1 eyeball for spacing.
