Need to know what kind of boat and how big the letters would be.

It depends on if you plan on keeping the boat. IMHO, If the name is plastered all down the side it affects resale by limiting prospective buyers.

You can always do it in vinyl.... And I have our name on the back of the boat (not documented).

On big sportfishing boats which are generall one color hull, the name is always on the back almost always painted on. this is how the owners show there poersonality ets. coming from mostly sportfishing boats i followed the same idea but without room onthe back i had it painted onthe side of an otherwise all with boat.
I think it looks better then a yellow boat with orange waves and its fairly inexpensive in comparison. but it al depends on your personalty.
