Thanks glassdave!

As you can see from my avatar, I have the scarab font. I actually had to create it myself. I support a very high end 3D CAD tool that makes any easy job of creating things like fonts and logo's, Let me know if you ever need a font or logo reproduced. All I need is a decent picture and I can basically reproduce it in an adobe Illustrator format!

Cool I may have something for you on my Donzi. It is a rare decal that the Donzi guys have not seen. We do know that it is original.

Nice job on the Tahiti!!
Looks great.
I always did like those jet daycruiser's. I almost bought a 25' Hawaiian for my first boat.

I've also always liked those old scarabs.
You've got good taste in boats.

I wish she was gonna be done for July but I doubt it, I have some major work to do to get all the wiring and mechanical stuff replaced, plus all the instrumentation and plumbing... Maybe I will bring the jet to the poker run, She cant keep up with the bigger boats but she will blow the doors off out of the gate.

I spend a lot of time on sebago and adjoining lakes... Is this your boat in the picture below? If so then we have actually talked. About 4 years a go I was going out to brandy pond and your were on your dock, we chatted for a few minutes. At the time the Jet was the old white and reds.

I will have stop by this summer and say Hi.

if your into that kinda stuff go to brandsoftheworld.com its a cool site i stumbled across that has tons of stuff in vector format that can be downloaded for free. Merc, Cigarette , Wellcraft tons of others. Cool way to get logos if you have a plotter. I have Adobe illustrator but havent used it yet i am still stuck on Corel. Been using it for years and it converts to my cutting software nicely. Can you convert scans to vector easily in Adobe?
