Our story
Number My Boat is a family-run vinyl workshop in Evansdale, Iowa, making custom boat registration numbers, boat names, and marine vinyl lettering cut to order and shipped free nationwide. Registration numbers are $28 a pair — both sides of the hull — in legal 3-inch plain block characters that meet the federal display rule 33 CFR 173.27. Every set is cut from marine-grade cast vinyl, pre-spaced on one sheet with application tape, so there are no loose letters to line up. What makes Number My Boat different is the proof: we email you a proof of your exact lettering within 12 hours and cut nothing until you approve it, so a wrong character never reaches your hull. Orders are cut, packed, and posted within 1–2 business days after approval. High-tack vinyl for plastic hulls — kayaks, personal watercraft, and pontoon rails — is available at no extra charge. Local pickup in Evansdale (Waterloo–Cedar Falls area) is available by arrangement. Free online tools include a hull number decoder, a boat name generator, and a registration layout checker. Founded in 2023. Order online at numbermyboat.com or email orders@numbermyboat.com.
