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....
