Boat Registration Numbers & Letters

Boat Registration: Navigating the Requirements

Boat owners must comply with specific regulations when it comes to displaying registration boat numbers and letters on their vessels. Fisheries Supply, a leading provider of boating accessories, offers a broad range of boat registration decals to make sure you meet these legal requirements. We carry major brands, like Bernard Engraving Co. and MDR.

Boat Registration Essentials

The guidelines for boat registration numbers and letters include:

• Minimum height of 3 inches for the characters.
• Placement on the forward third of the boat's hull.
• Contrasting color to the boat's background.
• Reading from left to right.

If the boat's hull is patterned or multicolored, a solid-colored block may be necessary to make the registration more legible.

Boat Registration Plate Options

Fisheries Supply carries a variety of boat registration plates and sticker decals to suit your needs, including:

• 3-inch and 5-inch boat lettering in black or white.
• Durable, weather-resistant materials.
• Easy installation and compliance with state requirements.
• Removable dinghy boat registration plate.

For dinghies, the boat registration numbers, displayed prominently on the inflatable boat registration plate, are an essential requirement for operating the vessel. The inflatable boat registration kit provides all the necessary components, including the registration decals for the inflatable boat, to ensure proper identification and compliance with marine regulations.
