What are the size and requirements for Rhode Island boat numbers?
Excerpt from Rhode Island Boat Regulations:❝
Position of Vessel Numbers and Registration Decal
The registration numbers assigned to a vessel must be placed on said vessel. These numbers must be at least three inches high; must be of a contrasting color to the background upon which they are placed; must be painted or attached to each side of the forward half of the vessel and so positioned to read from left to right and be distinctly visible and legible except as allowed by section 1.18(D) of this Part.
In addition to the registration number, each registered vessel must display the assigned registration decal to be affixed within three inches to the right of the registration number. No other numbers and only current decals shall be displayed. The numbers and decal must be displayed so that there is a space between the prefix (state abbreviation), four numerals, the suffix (letter or letters) and the decal. The width of the space between each must be at least the width of a numeral or letter other than 1 or I.
Don't worry, we KNOW boat numbers! Not only will you be legal, but look good doing it.
