Registration #'s on my boat - opinions

[Matt D.]

#5 for sure

[scheides]

I would keep it off that top white edge; remember this is a ski boat, and that's a great spot for diving off of, hanging onto, etc etc so IMHO put it a bit lower on the blue part where it won't be as succeptable to hands and feet peeling it off. I like the last few you did, esp the white fade to red lettering.

Last one for sure, matches the pin striping and decals and its very subtle! Blue letters on the white part look good too, and I doubt youll be hanging or jumping off that part of the edge much.

Sucks winters coming already! haha

Thanks for the feedback. Here's my thoughts on it all

I like the #5 as I feel it is very "contrasting" making it very "legal" :) I also like the lettering up on the white because the boat tarp hangs low enough that it's on the blue, so it will be completely covered with the tarp. With the letters on the Blue area, the tarp straps might hit it while the shake around during towing, and maybe cause some premature peeling... But, what I don't like is that it really sticks out a lot, liek "DAYUM LOOK THAT BOAT SURE IS REGISTERED!"

On the flip side, I think when the numbers are in the blue area, it looks more subtle and clean. All the "colors" and pinstriping and all that stuff is all going on in the blue area, so it seems like it'd look the cleanest if it was down there where everything else is happening. But I feel like it'd be the hardest to make match the rest of the boat, while still being contrasting enough to never get hastled by the shore patrol. And also worried about the rubbing of the tarp straps might make it peel prematurely.

So yeah, I'm still kinda torn. I do however think I'm going to avoid 3 and 4 because I'm hearing from a lot of others that may be asking for extra attention from the shore patrol because it's not contrasting enough.

I really like #4, maybe try it in white instead if you don't think it contrasts enough.

[Goat Blower]

Definitely keep it under the rubrail, but other than that, they all work pretty well.

I like the last one. Keeps it off the rail and contrasts nicely.
