OK so it been a while since I owend a boat. I just recieved my pltes and the ugly orange TX sticker.

I know that back in the day you had to place this sticker along with a number that was assigned to you on the boat. Do you still have to put the numbers on the boat today or just the tx sticker?

you have to put your numbers on there also

Most custom sign shops will make a set for you. Mine charged me $20 and I got to pick the style and color. Options are limitless.

OK thanks was a little unsure if the law had changed as for they give a card that is to be kept on the boat with that same info.

SO how do I know what numbers I am to place on the boat nothing is labled like tx blablabla

it'll be on your boating card

1234 TX *ugly orange sticker*

OK that seems starnge I thought they normaly had letters mixed in. The ugly orange sticker has the floowing which I have changed a couple numbers around for security sake.

10-0072566

the first part should be TX (unless your in another state)

Thanks to all I think I finally found them on one of the papers....it was about as clear as mudd or I am just a dumb as_!

haha, dont worry, you really be one if you put the letter backwards on the driver side... remember, read it left to right on both side of the boat...

Try Fast Signs.

The TX sticker should always be toward the rear of the boat. On the port side (right side facing forward) when applying the numbers looking at it should read, TX sticker, TX 1234 AA the starboard (left side facing forward) side should read TX 1234 AA, TX sticker. Make sure there are spaces between the TX and numbers and the numbers and two letters. I have included a link that should help you out.

Don't take it out without the numbers on there, your temp registration is only good for 3 to 4 weeks. Don't ask me how I know, but I do know...LOL The GW let me boat anyway! She was a hardA$$ at first, but lightened up after a little conversation. Just gotta show respect for the law!

Also, make sure you have your registration card on the boat! I did have mine, and she checked it!

See ya on the water,
