Built for Dark Hulls

Standard white numbers disappear on dark-coloured boats. Our high-contrast registration numbers are cut from black, gold, or red marine-grade vinyl — engineered to pop on navy, black, deep green, and dark-hulled vessels while meeting Transport Canada SOR/2010-91 requirements.

What You Get

  • One set of PCL registration numbers (all characters in your licence number)
  • Marine-grade cast vinyl — UV-stable, salt-spray resistant, 7-year outdoor rating
  • Application tape included
  • Made-to-order in Canada

Regulatory Note

Transport Canada requires registration numbers in a contrasting colour to the hull. Black, gold, and red all provide strong contrast on dark hulls and meet the contrasting-colour requirement.
