New Hampshire Boat Registration Lettering

General information about numbers

We'll guide you through the process of creating New Hampshire boat numbers when you click design now. Each state has specific verbiage as to their requirements. See the New Hampshire specific section below. The general requirements for boat registrations numbers are as follows:

  • A minimum of 3" letter height
  • A block style font such as (impact or arial black)
  • Generally located on the forward hull portion of the boat next to the DNR tag
  • A contrasting color to base color of your boat.
  • Letters separated by a space or a dash (-)

New Hampshire has a nice boater guide book that everyone should review. The registration information portion is located Here.

Installation was super easy. I especially appreciate the fact I could get a Les Paul guitar to incorporate into my Port of Call location, bowing to the fact my hometown is Les Paul's birthplace.

Perfect. I was just about given a 1980 AMF Sunbird. The sails are in great shape. The boat is in great shape. It's a 17 ft day sailor. It needs a lot of work on the rigging but I got that. Since I'm in Louisiana, and crawfish are a big deal, the name little fish comes naturally.

Redid the graphics on the fire boat here at Ira Twp Fire Department. The old ones were cracking and gouged.

As you can see, I got the name and hailing port decal installed today. Thank you the process was very easy to do and looks so professional. This is a 1993 Starcraft Islander 191V that I have just gotten seaworthy this was one of the final things I wanted to do, place her name on her. The name "Bubbles Up" is from a Jimmy Buffett song of the same name on his last a final album.
