There are lots of great boating destinations in Tennessee to go boating, but don't venture out without state compliant registration numbers. We've got you covered though! Read on...
We'll guide you through the process of creating Tennessee boat numbers when you click design now. Each state has specific verbiage as to their requirements. See the Tennessee specific section below. The general requirements for boat registrations numbers are as follows:
Please review your state specific requirements before purchasing identification decals as they do vary from state to state. Our designer is setup to comply with the general requirements above. If you require a specific requirement not in our designer, just leave a comment at checkout and we'll adust your design (no big deal!). Follow this guide published by the Tennessee state DNR Here.
Tennessee specifies that boat numbers be placed on the forward portion of the boat (the bow) on both sides.
Our tennessee number kits are solid as a pair with 2.
Your vinyl lettering is cut, weeded, and coated in a transfer tape ready to install. Installation instructions are located here. We have many optional installation accessories located in our accessories section.
First time doing stencils and everything went pretty smoothly. The YouTube video was very helpful. This is our 38’ DownEast sailboat currently in Penasco MX in dry dock. We are preparing the boat for sailing to Panama.

I was looking for a fishing boat but my wife Gail insisted on a poontoon boat so long story short she won the argument so now you know the rest of the story lol

These turned out great!! Very easy to install. The raised lettering really pops on the side of the boat and the sparkle matches the sparkle in the gold on the side of the boat. Extremely happy with the craftsmanship of these decals!!

My decals came out better than expected and I was very pleased with the quality. The instructions were simple, easy to understand and applying them was a simple. Additionally, I also ordered custom shirts to match my boat name decal and couldn’t be happier about how they turned out! Great quality and comfortable shirts to the point that I ordered extras for Christmas gifts. Will definitely be using this company for any and all future orders.

We now have 22 logos from BoatDecals on the hull and boom of our boat. Each one on Facebook thanking that sponsor. Please visit Team Fly Girls to see your end products. I had to get a few of them reprinted, only because I had ordered a wrong size. You guys have been great to deal with.Thank you so much.
