Register your AI to DMV?

  She then asked me, 51% of use will you be sailing it?

Did you ask her why she asked?


Here is my outrigger in Boracay.

The way I see it from what I've read is it all boils down to the primary mode of transportation as I see it the primary is the mirage drive, so no need for registering.

Once the mast goes on & the sail goes up ... the numbers/registration needs to be on there. 

My CF numbers are going on the amas...if it's legal. Some days I may face the amas (cf #s) inward in an act of defiance

My reading of the regs is that it has to be on the forward half of the vessel so if the CF and decal fit on the amas such that it is forward of mid point of the main hull, it should be ok. In some ways, it would probably be preferred since the cf and decal could be partially obscured by the amas if it was on the hull.

Display of Numbers and Stickers
Along with your boat registration number, DMV will also issue you a set of
registration stickers. Numbers and stickers issued at the time of registration
must be placed on each side of the forward half of the vessel, usually on the
bow (see the figures below). Registration stickers must be securely affixed
three inches aft of, and in line with, the registration numbers. The number
must be visible from each side of the vessel. No other numbers, letters or
devices may be placed in the vicinity of the state-assigned number.
n To separate the numerals from the letters, spaces the width of the letter
“C” or hyphens may be used between the prefix and the number, and
between the number and the suffix.
n Letters and numerals must be block characters at least three inches high.
Choose a color for the letters and numbers that will contrast well with
the hull or backing plate color of your vessel. In determining height and
contrast, any border, trim, outlining or shading around the number shall
not be considered.
n If placement on a flared bow would make the number difficult to read,
it should be affixed on some other part of the forward half of the vessel
where it can be easily read.
n For PWCs, the numbers and stickers must also be affixed on each side
of the forward half of the vessel on a non-removable portion of the hull.
n On inflatable boats or vessels so configured that a number will not
properly adhere or cannot be clearly seen, it should be painted on or
attached to a backing plate, along with the registration sticker.

I got my registration in the mail today...

just seems wrong.... 

anyway, they just gave me a 13...  guess I need to go out buy the rest of the numbers/letters?

You are correct Don.

Look for your CF numbers inside the Certificate of Ownership.  West Marine sells the stickers.

Great thread...

Really didn't want to revive this thread but 3 months after I sent my registration in, I finally got it in the mail.  Government slackers.

I installed it on the amas. Came out ok.

nice scott. I was wondering how the blue would look. Since we have the same color I may go that route as well. Where did you get the letters?

 

  One more revenue stream for our broke ass state to exploit!
