Boat registration decals

[Hickey]

Hey boat dudes, it's time to apply my registration decals to a boat I bought 7 months ago. I ordered some fancy ass decals but I'm worried they are too fancy for the state.

I ordered these:Hardline Products BRBKG200 Series 200 Factory Matched 3-Inch Boat & PWC Registration Number Kit, Brown/Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001447MK2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_pH09CbXGWP81C

The state says they must be bold block letters without shading. Am I fuqed?

 

[DAA]

Those are definitely shaded. And might be considered script, not block, maybe?

They are shaded. Some of mine are shaded. In my experience, it is just like a front license plate and every other regulation: If you are otherwise obeying the law and acting courteously, the ranger won't care about your shaded registration letters. If they have some other reason to care, they will add the registration letters to whatever else they consider in violation.

Mine are painted on and have all sorts of shading and stuff. Never had a issue

Like Unimog said, chances are you will be okay, as long as they contrast with the boat. But it is an excuse for a ranger to pull you over if he's having a bad day.

I think I'll just stop buy Marine Products on my way to the lake. It's only $10-18 to avoid a problem.

I think as long as the are easy to read you will be fine.

Those will be fine and they are fairly standard on boats used everywhere.
"Shaded" generally refers to the double layer stickers with a secondary color off to one side.

Dont drink and drive, have the required PFDs and you will be fine.

 

[rholbrook]

They will be fine. I had some on one of my boats like that. No issues with the fish cops

What @Anchor_Mtn said. If you not doing anything wrong run them.

You all are Saints. I'm NEVER not doing anything wrong. NEVER. Not according to the do gooders anyway.

I got seriously hassled by a fish cop once because he said I was "staring him down". Serious.

Well, stop glaring at the fish cops.

If you were staring me down, I'd owe you an apology.

I saw Dave stare at the sun, and the sun went blind!

I didn't take a single pic today. It was still a good day.

Hopefully the boat in question doesn't belong on Grantsville Reservoir.

 

[Hickey]

I stole some pics from other attendees.
