What are the size and requirements for Ohio boat numbers?
Excerpt from Ohio Boat Regulations:❝
The number assigned is in three parts beginning with "OH" followed by four numbers and two letters.
The number shall:
• be placed on each side of the forward half of the watercraft;
• read from left to right;
• be in block characters of good proportion;
• be a minimum of 3 inches in height;
• be one color and contrast with the background or boat color;
• be separated by a hyphen or equivalent space between the prefix and suffix;
• be maintained to be clearly visible and legible.
Two registration tags are issued with each traditional boat registration. On numbered boats the owner shall securely affix the tags on each side of the bow six inches toward the stern from the number.The tags must be clearly visible in normal conditions and affixed prior to operation of the watercraft. Documented boats must display one tag on the port side and one on the starboard side.
Don't worry, we KNOW boat numbers! Not only will you be legal, but look good doing it.
