The Elegant, Non-Permanent Solution for Displaying Registration on Soft-Hull Vessels
Eliminate the frustration of peeling decals, messy stencils, and damaging adhesives. Designed specifically for Dinghies, Inflatables, and Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs), the Hardline Products® Clear Acrylic Registration Plate Kit provides a durable, legally compliant, and visually stunning way to display your vessel’s registration.
Crafted from premium marine-grade clear acrylic, this kit creates a sleek, “floating text” aesthetic that blends seamlessly with your boat’s design. Featuring our versatile Velcro® strap mounting system, you can easily secure your registration to existing perimeter lines or grab handles—protecting your expensive Hypalon or PVC hull from chemical adhesives while maintaining total US Coast Guard compliance.
Key Benefits
- Total Legal Compliance: Sized at an optimal 3.74” (Height) x 23.75” (Width), these plates provide ample room for your state permit decal and full alphanumeric sequence. They meet or exceed all US Coast Guard (USCG), state, and federal requirements for block-letter registration visibility.
- Zero Hull Damage: Protect your vessel’s warranty and resale value. By utilizing a suspended plate system, you completely avoid applying harsh glues, paints, or sticky residues directly onto the sensitive fabric of your inflatable tubes.
- Premium “Invisible” Aesthetic: Unlike traditional solid white or black plates, our high-gloss clear acrylic backing allows your boat’s natural color to show through. This creates a highly professional, custom-painted look for your registration numbers.
- Quick-Release Portability: Deflating your tender for the season? The heavy-duty hook-and-loop straps allow you to attach or remove your registration plates in seconds, making storage and transport effortless.
Core Features
- Marine-Grade Clear Acrylic Construction: Engineered to survive the harshest marine environments. These plates are UV-stabilized to prevent yellowing, highly resistant to saltwater corrosion, and tough enough to withstand incidental impacts and fuel spills.
- Universal Velcro® Mounting System: Each kit includes four (4) heavy-duty, 12-inch nylon Hook & Loop (Velcro®) straps with secure pass-through buckles. Simply thread the straps through the pre-punched channels on the acrylic plate and wrap them tightly around your boat’s D-rings, grab handles, or perimeter ropes.
- Safe, Rounded Edges: The die-cut plates feature smoothed, rounded corners to guarantee they will never snag your gear or puncture your inflatable tubes during heavy chop.
- Optimized for Vinyl Decals: The ultra-smooth acrylic surface is the perfect canvas for standard 3-inch marine registration decals, ensuring a flawless, bubble-free bond that lasts season after season.
