CG Documentation numbers question

[izzy]

Looking for what others have done regarding the CG documentation numbers, as you guys know these numbers are required to be placed somewhere permenatly inside the boat on the hull in 3" size and mounted in such a way that if they were to be removed it would leave permanent scarring.

What have you done to your boat to meet these requirments?

I used vinyl numbers and put them on the inside hull - On my Sailfish under the stern seat where the batteries are stores you can get to the inside of the outside hull - once applied I put a couple of coats of resin over the vinyl letters and they are permanent - I have never been asked by CG during boardings to see them. The only thing they want to see in my experience has been Documentation paperwork.

carved into wood, 3m 5200 to a stringer inside of cabin. It seems "permanent" is relative and the CG aren't sticklers for this exact rule, as it is vague and up to each owner. I wouldn't over engineer it the easier the better.

I used this company Yes it is pricey but it looks good, very fast service and best of all it is DONE. Just use some 5200 to glue it in the bilge. http://documentedvessel.com/index.html

I routed my numbers into a piece of wood using a Dremel, spray painted the wood white, brush painted the numbers black and screwed the thing to the inside of the transom.
