The Professional, Non-Permanent Solution for Vessel Identification
Stop struggling with peeling stickers and messy stencils. The Hardline Products® Complete Registration Plate Kitis the definitive solution for displaying registration numbers on Inflatable Boats, Dinghies, and RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats).
Engineered specifically for Hypalon and PVC hulls where traditional adhesives fail, this kit provides a secure, legal, and professional mounting system that requires no glue, no painting, and no permanent alteration to your vessel.
Why Choose This Kit?
- Total Compliance: Sized at 4″ x 24″, our plates meet or exceed all US Coast Guard (USCG), state, and federal requirements for registration visibility.
- Protect Your Investment: Maintain your boat’s resale value and warranty by avoiding the application of harsh adhesives or paint directly onto the tubes.
- Complete “Done-For-You” Package: We include everything you need—plates, mounting hardware, a full set of registration decals, and our proprietary application fluid—so you can get on the water faster.
Key Features & Benefits
- Heavy-Duty Marine Construction Crafted from 1/16″ thick, semi-flexible ABS plastic, these plates are built to withstand the harshest marine environments. They are “Salt-Water Tough,” resisting fuel spills, fading, and scratches. The rounded die-cut corners prevent snagging or puncturing of your inflatable tubes.
- Versatile & Secure Mounting System Forget about falling plates. This kit utilizes a secure mounting system (featuring heavy-duty adjustable straps or cable ties*) that easily attaches to your vessel’s existing grab handles, oar locks, D-rings, or perimeter ropes. It allows for quick removal when deflating or storing your boat. (Note: Secures firmly to perimeter lines and grab handles; no drilling into the hull required.)
- Includes Premium 144-Piece Decal Kit No need to buy numbers separately. This kit comes with our best-selling 3-inch Black Registration Decal Kit, featuring 4 sets of A-Z and 0-9 (144 decals total). These UV-coated, fuel-resistant decals are designed to last season after season.
- Flawless Application with Sticker-On!™ We’ve included a bottle of our Sticker-On! Decal Application Fluid. This professional-grade solution allows you to slide and position your decals perfectly before they set, ensuring a straight, bubble-free finish every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Installation & Compatibility

Just spray the back of the decal and the plate with Sticker-On!, then apply your decal, you can move the decals around to get the right alignment, once you have the decals the way you want them just press down on the decal with a paper towel and squeeze the fluid out. We suggest spraying all your decals first and setting them on the plate and then begin straightening them.
