Displaying registration on a raft

[Gibbon]

Hello,

I just registered my first raft with PAF&B. What methods have raft users used to attach the registration. Unlike a hard boat I'm afraid the stickers will not hold to a raft.

Dear Gibbon,

Check out the plastic registration plates from Amazon. You may be able to find them locally in a marine supply shop but Amazon will get them to you in a day or two along with all the letters and numbers you'll need. I just tie them off and toss them over the side on my inflatable kayak.

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂

I was going to paint the registration number and hang a piece of plastic with the sticker on mine. I got checked while I still had a temporary registration and the officer suggested I use something like what Tim posted when I received my registration. I made mine out of some grey plastic sheet I had around but it is essentially the same thing.

I put them on the oars. I know that it’s probably not legal, but couldn’t get them to stick and I know they have my S# so we’ll figure it out when they pull me over

I picked up a Sea Eagle 380X with a Bixpy K-1 motor this year and needed to do the registration thing for the first time.

I used these:

It's a package deal with hard plastic plates, adhesive and a full array of letters and numbers. I hang the things from D-rings on the yak, suspended with any small snap or carabiner. Seems to work pretty well so far..

I used these.

They have held up great after several years and the registration sticker doesn't peel off.
