Boat stickers do two jobs: they keep you legal on the water and they make your boat look sharp. At Hoosier Decal we have produced custom boat stickers, registration numbers, and graphics since 2003, all made in the USA from marine-grade vinyl built to survive sun, spray, and speed. Design your boat registration stickers online or upload a custom design, and we ship nationwide.
Kinds of Boat Stickers We Make
Whether you need the legally required registration numbers or want custom graphics to stand out at the ramp, we cut and print it all.
- Boat registration number stickers: state-compliant numbers and validation decals.
- Custom boat name stickers: your vessel name in any font and color.
- Boat graphics and stripes: hull accents, flags, and logo decals.
- Reflective boat stickers: high-visibility numbers for low light. See our reflective boat numbers.
Boat Registration Stickers and Numbers
Every state requires registration numbers displayed on both sides of the bow, in a set size and contrasting color, with the validation decal nearby. The exact rules vary by state, so check yours before you order. Our boat number display laws for all 50 states guide spells out the requirements, and our custom boat numbers designer builds compliant numbers in minutes.
Marine-Grade Material That Lasts
Water, salt, and UV destroy cheap stickers fast. We use premium marine-grade vinyl rated for years of outdoor and on-water use.
- Premium vinyl rated 5 to 7 years outdoors.
- UV-stable colors that resist fading in direct sun.
- Strong marine adhesive that bonds to fiberglass, aluminum, and painted hulls.
- Reflective options for visibility in low light.

Placement and Sizing
- Registration numbers: both sides of the bow, reading left to right, in the size your state requires (usually at least 3 inches tall).
- Validation decal: within a set distance of the numbers, per your state rule.
- Custom graphics: anywhere on the hull or transom. Clean the surface with alcohol first for the best bond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your boat registration stickers state-compliant?
Yes. Our designer builds numbers in the required size, spacing, and contrast. Check your state rules in our 50-state guide before ordering to confirm the specifics.
Will boat stickers survive being in the water?
Yes. We use marine-grade vinyl with strong adhesive made for hulls. It handles sun, spray, and washdowns for years.
Can I get reflective boat numbers?
