We handle compliance for you

• Idaho: ID prefix, 3 inch block letters, validation sticker within 6 inches.
• Script, italic and outline fonts are not legal for registration numbers. Boat names and hailing ports can use them — see Boat Name & Hailing Port Lettering.

Why cast vinyl on a hull

Calendared film shrinks. On a hull that means the edges lift, water gets under the letters, and by the second season you are looking at a shadow of your old numbers. We run 3M commercial cast air-release film on every marine job. It conforms to the curve, it does not shrink back, and it survives trailering, ramp scuffs and a Coeur d'Alene summer. Gelcoat, painted hulls, aluminium and poly kayaks all take it.

Outside Washington and Idaho?

Your set ships free nationwide as a ready-to-apply kit with transfer tape and printed instructions. Installed and shop-pickup pricing applies to our Washington and North Idaho service area only.

Warranty

Installed by JZAC: up to 7 years of workmanship coverage on eligible installations we perform, subject to material, surface, environmental, care and application conditions.

Self-apply kits: material coverage only. Because we do not control surface preparation or application, customer installation and workmanship are not covered.

Either way, if we cut it wrong or the film is defective, we remake it.

Custom product returns

These numbers are cut to your registration, so they cannot be returned for a change of mind once the approved artwork has been cut. That is why we send a proof first and cut nothing until you approve it. If we make a mistake, we fix it — call or text 509-720-8239.
