What To Do? What To Do?
A blank canvas.. and Wayne Bomb
Today I am gonna try and get Stinky ready for the summer and other than the mechanical assembly, a more artistic issue has presented itself. What to put on her new varnished transom. So, you get to decide. And of course because its subjective, the answer will be all over the place. But hey, I woke up late and this is what we have today.
White with a blue outline
Red outline
The all in one
Red with white outline
Gold
Just the race number, since it has the name on the side
Just the year
Here is Miss Miami and its solution. I am trying to figure out what would have been done back in the day?
Ugh, cant see the transom
My guess is a simple white name to match the sides. It wouldnt have been too fancy for sure
First one , White with blue outline
This Art likes the Gold but I think it should be REAL gold leaf.. and put 1937 in the bottom swash….or whatever it called.
I agree. The rest of her is painted red, white, blue. The transom is stained so go classic gold lettering with that and I agree with the year on it also
White with red outline.
I think it should include a BABE like the WWII airplanes had!
Of course it would not work well if you included the name.
That would be one way to stay a virgin.
I think the font is 𝓢𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓴𝔂 Something a little more slinky.
Pepe Le Pew the Skunk, the cartoon character with the year and home port.

Nothing on the stern. Less is more. The name is already splashed all over the sides.
I agree. Let the wood show.
I like the white with blue outline (or shadow) but would add the year either centered below or off to stbd, balancing the exhaust location – maybe just in blue…
White with red outline. Could always add a small, tasty 1937 underneath in red.
I smell a lit of DO DO here and it sure is Stinky.
White with red outline, the red stands out a bit more.
Put the year in small blue lettering in the white slash.
Pepe Le Pew could be about 8″ tall on the starboard lower corner.
The “All In One” summarizes things nicely, all in one aspect. A little bit of Messr. Le Pew would be cool, too.
PFFT!,
as was
I still love the original as well. Here is a skunk from the 40’s on the transom. Its a different idea since Stinky got her name from a pig farmer
Here is the link to her history. https://www.woodyboater.com/classic-boat-art/you-wont-believe-what-i-found-out-about-stinkys-history/
Seems to me that your Virginia license number says it all already “VA1937PU”. I like the varnished mahogany transom as it appears currently.
I love the skunk. Also, I love the year cuz it’s a constant question you get.
Just love the lines on Stinky! Anxious to get my 16 done! Pepe LePew comes to mind!
All in one gets my vote.
You have “Stinky” on the sides, why on the transom also – How Stinky do you want to be?
