Default Registration numbers/letters

I know most of you folks that have old race boats and such and run them in your home waters. I take it you have to register them like a normal boat so how do you all display the sticker and numbers? I hate just throwing them on the bow when mine has never had them there before.

Hi F_inscreenname

I've seen the numbers/stickers place on a narrow flat plate on both sides of it, and then hung on a life line or bow railing

thank you

Hey Jim
No bow rails to hang it from. I was thinking some sort of removable plate for the front deck like the numbers on the front fender of an old motorcycle. But I'm a little afraid that the registration wont be "permitted fixed to the hull" to satisfy Maryland DNR.

On my old Scarab I had a plate fixed to the center deck rail. I had no problems here in Michigan with that display.

Why dont you document the boat --- that way you do not have to run numbers .... all you need is a state stickerAll but but two of my boats that I have had were documented , A very clean look...

I dont do that because the knucklehead DNR guys around here (Iowa) dont understand and you would get pulled over every time.

You can put a very quick stop to that by a complaint to the United States Coast guard ---They frown on any harasment of boats that are documented with the U.S. Government .... They
will be all over the DNR like white on rice !!!!!! I can attest to that on a personal basis ---- Had some local county mountie give me a bad time about one of my boats and they they came in and read the riot act to the chief ! NO MORE PROBLEMS.....
