Vinyl lettering can be easily removed with a heat gun. I would recommend
one from a hardware source versus using your wife's hair dryer. Heat the
letters up and use a sharpened stick to loosen them up or a piece of plastic
that is smooth.

Well, my first Rhodes came without a name on her and I did name her, but
never did a cerimony; it appears I was flying in the face of danger.
Fortuantly I managed to get by for 15 years without any real problem.
My current boat came with a name, and while I do not find it undesirable,
if I can figure a good way to remove the vinyl lettering that has been on
the hull for probably ten years or so; I would like to rename her.... I
think I can afford the bottled spirits, may have to use multiple types to cover
all bases, sounds like depending on whom is telling, the beverage
changes...... whatever, I do not want to test the Gods anymore than necessary....
