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

  • 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 (-)

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.

Decals were cut perfectly and were easy to apply. Only thing is I was in a rush to install. I probably could have separated the letters from the numbers and got a closer match to the curve of the stripe. But I'm very happy with the quality and prices. Also the website is so easy to use. Thanks we will be back for more. NF.

The letters came out great! I'm pleased with the letters and the application process. They also arrived very quickly. They were easy to apply. My personal application of them... not bad but could have been better. Illinois wants 3" letters, and I didn't have that much room. I also aligned the tops of the letters to a bevel. If I had it to do over, I'd align the bottoms to the lower bevel. I think that would make them look straighter. Lastly, I forgot to leave space for my Illinois sticker on the right side which pushed it too far forward. Maybe the next person can learn from this.
