Boat Numbers?

[eyedabassman]

I will be moving down there May first. And I will need Mo. numbers for my bass boat. I had cool metal flake numbers on it. And do any of you know where I can find two tone numbers in flake?

You might check with the water patrol and/or the boating laws on what is acceptable before committing to what looks cool. They can be picky sometimes could save you problems later.

There's a place in Springfield called quality trim. They can make them any color you want.

Let me say this about that.

Boat identification numbers in Missouri have to be at least 3" in height. Solid color that is contrasting to the hull on the forward section of the boat. They must also be blocked shaped and presented with a 2" or 1 letter space between the letters and the numbers. ie

MO 8888 BC Or they may have a spacing as such MO-4444-BC They must also read from left to right regardless of the side of the boat.

Reflective, multicolor or non-uniform numbers are not permitted. If you want to get stopped here, by the State Patrol, just goof this easy deal up with goofy looking or crazy numbers, and you will get your wish.

Branson West Ayres Sign is without a doubt the best place to get your numbers made. Go in and talk to Kathy. She has been making boat numbers in the Kimberling City, Branson lakes area for 20 years and knows EXACTLY HOW THEY SHOULD LOOK. 417-272-3327

I had my boat numbers made from a vinyl shop. Sign Us in Ozark done them. They have everything preset, just pick your color and font. They key is being prominently displayed and easily read. I chose a font that was still easily read but not boring and blocky. I haven't read up on any laws requiring certain positioning but I do know that they give a diagram to you when you get your tags. Overall its like license plates on a vehicle, they even have a law that prohibits improper placement of your new stickers.

Oh, and I believe it was around 25$ total for both sides.

As a former Missouri State Water Patrol officer, let me state that while blocky is boring, it is the LAW. Both numerals and letters shall be in Block Form. All letters will be in Caps.

Guys and Gals this is not a way of self expression, this is the licenses plate on your boat and needs to be visible from distance without being able to read some sort of weird font. Your yearly registration sticker may be placed in front, behind or below the center of your numbers. As I said, go ahead and do this in your own personal style and see what that gets you. I was a State Police officer for 8 yrs. and I stopped every boat with numbers that were not placed according to regulations or had any type of deviance. It led to multiple arrest for everything from narcotics to felony arrest warrants. It is the means the police use to stop you that is not selective enforcement that they cannot do. You have broken the law no matter how slight and it is a means that they use to get to an end. Forget the Crud-ola and do it right.
