Inflatable boats aren’t new – we’ve been using Rigid or non Rigid inflatable boats as tenders, dinghies, dive boats forever, but the newest GoBoat release brings inflatable ease with a small electric motor to everyday boating on a quiet lake or river. How to apply boat registration number stickers to a Go Boat inflatable boat Being inflatable material, traditional vinyl will not stick well to these boats because they are inflated and deflated, but you’re still required to have a boat registration sticker on a GoBoat in every state or territory (if you have an engine.)
Our boat registration stencils are perfect for adding to your GoBoat package, and you can customize the typeface. We recommend a paint suitable for this, and our customers like this SEM Marine vinyl paint. It withstands inflating and deflating (customer experiences!) and works well for this application.
What is a GoBoat? It’s an inflatable stable raft-style boat that has a built in seat that is powered by a small electric trolling motor. It’s perfect for rivers, ponds, small lakes where you’re not exposed to large waves or rough water, but don’t want to be IN the water either. Similar to an inflatable kayak, these are transportable, come with a powered inflater and stow in a rollable case that allows you to put it in the water almost anywhere. If I were buying a Go Boat right now, this is the one I’d get:
This is the marine paint for vinyl inflatable hulls that our customers use:
This is what a custom flexible stencil looks like. The white areas are holes. The top (in it’s finished form) contains a transfer paper, you peel the back, press the stencil on, peel the transfer paper and then spray your letters (please apply some newspaper with paint tape around your overspray area.) Customers tell me Goof Off on a Q tip removes any halos around the lettering.
In virtually every state, as soon as you attach a motor to anything, it’s a boat, and it requires registration! So for that, you can check out each state’s requirements here

These boats are perfect for people who lack space to store a traditional boat – you can put it in a closet! You can also get affordably on the water by purchasing a personal watercraft such as SeaDoo, a small flat bass boat like this, or even a small sailboat like this.
