About Our Custom Numbers

We'll guide you through the process of creating numbers when you click design now. Each state has specific verbiage as to their requirements. The general requirements for boat hull identification numbers are as follows:

  • A minimum of 3" letter height
  • A block style font such as (impact or arial black)
  • Generally located on the forward hull portion of the boat next to the DNR tag
  • A contrasting color to base color of your boat.
  • Letters separated by a space or a dash (-)
Design Your Boat Name

Boat lettering is sold individually. This includes boat names and hailing ports. Boat registration numbers are sold as a pair.

In most cases we have rush shipping available which will ship in 2 business days or less. Please proceed through checkout to review the most accurate shipping information.

Your lettering is cut, weeded, and coated in a transfer tape ready to install. We have many optional installation accessories located in our accessories section.

We use a variety of vinyl types depending on the colors you order. Standard colors are produced with a 3M 6 year vinyl/laminate combination (which will often last longer). Laminate is included for free on all of our standard colors. Specialty colors can vary greatly depending on the specific color. In general specialty films carry at least a 5 year outdoor life as rated by the manufacturer. Need better adhesive? Our high tack adhesive option is ideal for low energy plastics like kayaks and waverunners.

Applied the new decals to my MX Race bike and competed in a 100 mile desert race. They held up great and I finished 32nd in the open class (which is really good!)
