There's nothing easier than peeling the backing off and sticking them on by eye.

  Having said that you can get all fancy with the tape,measure,protractor and non-permanent marker and measure and evenly space out your letter to precision if you want.

  I put mine on by eye and in 11 yrs no one has ever come over to me and said "Bloody he'll mate" that s is crooked.

You can buy the numbers for your rego all made up in one easy to apply sticker in any color and font you like, and cheap.

Means there is no spacing needed , just line it up straight and stick it on. Very easy.

Boats are quite tricky, because they are not straight and flat, there is clinker sides, bow flare and raised bow to contend with.

No need to be sorry mate.I've relied to posts from 10 yrs ago on forums.😂😂😂

Happy fishing if you're still able to get out within the rules.

Was told to spray hull with water peel letter-number place sticky side on hull then smooth water from underneath to remove water and air bubbles. Anyone tried it. Thanks
