Logos on hull

General Boats and Motors

In the process of searching for a new boat. Seeing some out there that would fit the budget, but taking my time and doing the research. I’ve saved several listings that look great, if it weren’t for big obnoxious names/logos on the sides. Wondering if anyone has experience removing logos from a boat they’ve purchased. From what I’ve heard, the actual logo removal is fairly easy…light heat from a hairdryer over the edge of the logo and slowly pull it off.

My concern is whether or not the logo will still show after removal due to the hull color fading and/or slight staining around the logo while it was on there? My gut tells me this may be more of an issue with a darker color hull than a lighter color or white, but want to be sure.

If it is noticeable after removing, or if it starts to show over time, is there a cheaper way to deal with it than getting the hull professionally polished? Thanks for any advice.

Of course the newer the boat the less difference there will be.
I had a 30-ft Stratus that had aquaholic down the side of it. It had been on there several years. Was quite noticeable after I removed it.Sanded with 1000 grit sandpaper. Then went to harbor freight and bought a cheap buffer and buffed the whole side out looked brand new.

I am fragile. Not like a flower. But like a bomb.

And if you rename it, nothing with “knot”, “reel”, “aqua” anything and no sexual innuendos.

You’re being REELY annoying.

Once saw a boat named “****** Beach” down in the Keys. Can’t imagine what kind of person would name a boat something like that.
