California is unique in that it can be considerably different weather in different parts of the state. Regardless, there are some great boating destinations. The only catch, if you purchase a boat in California make sure it meets the state registration number guidelines. We have that information below along with an easy to use designer that walks you through purchasing.
We'll guide you through the process of creating California boat numbers when you click design now. Each state has specific verbiage as to their requirements. See the California 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!). Located on the official California state DMV site is the exact state requirements. We've linked to them Here.
California specifies that boat numbers be placed on the forward portion of the boat (the bow) on both sides.

Good product went on easy and are quality made
Fantastic look, excellent quality, easy to apply. Directions & videos easy to follow & accurate. I installed doomed lettering standing in the water with just painters tape & scraper tool. Of course after wiping the surface with glass cleaner , but shouldn’t you already have that on the boat? Highly recommended!!
