Is that made from that EVA foam? like they make for flooring for jet-skis and boats etc? Kinda cool idea!

Only thing that just popped into my head is cleaning in the tight corners...with a sticker you wipe it all off....try getting in there to clean out wax etc :)

Document your boats! No need for any random set of numbers to be plastered down the side of your hull. Doesn't matter how pretty you make them.

ICDEDPPL 08-13-2025 08:29 AM

So you give the cops a reason to pull you over, naww.

I think federally documented is a lot more common on the coasts than it is in the midwest. I do like the foam ones you posted. I have been pulled for paperwork checks, but don't start no shlit, won't be no shlt.

In some cases, it can help with avoiding local taxes. I had receipts that stated my boat was stored for a majority of the year in Florida vs. Virginia; AND when it WAS in Virginia, it was stored/"garaged" in a county and (mailing address) an address in a county that did not have Personal Property Tax. I know all states do not have this.
IF I would have had it state/locally registered; the locals would have been all up in my biz.

They look nice but trying to wax around them I think would be a pain.

I have a Montana and Wyoming LLC. No state taxes.

The majority of boats at LOTO are documented for tax purposes, but you still have to get MO sticker to display.

I put raised dome letters on my Nautique that were a close match to the factory lettering, it was a nice style upgrade.
