Yes I come from the Netherlands (Holland) in Europa.

And we have to put this number on because of the speed of the boat.

To Peter.....

And we have to put this number on because off the speed off the boat.

How fast to you have to go to have smaller numbers? I assume slower.

What if you had a really fast tiny boat?

Congrats on having a beautiful set of islands in the Caribbean....BON DIA

Hello BON DIA,

Doesn't matter if it's a small or a big boat but when the boat can go faster than 16MPH than you need a registration so that means a number on your boat.

The size of the letters is a percentage of the length of the boat with a minimum and a maximum size of course.

I think it's normal that a boat need a kind of "number plate".
Only I think that every boat needs registration for several (safety) reasons.

You can report for example if somebody do crazy things with there boat.

What are the rules in the USA?
