First sign of spring
 

The 2005 boat stickers arrived today. The new color is purple!!

Registration contest!
 

Hey Geez...

My brother an I have an annual contest to see who has the lowest registration number on our stickers. As nutty as it seems I have five. The one with the lowest number is the champion!

What's your number?

Misty Blue

Misty Blue - our new stickers say five too, but that's the year! :D Their actual numbers are 62 and 63.

Lake Geezer - are you sure you aren't wearing tinted glasses?? Our new stickers are BLUE! :laugh:

DRH,

Me thinks your are correct, rose colored glasses and blue make it purple. :)

OK Geez, fess up you are whearing rose tinted glasses right? :laugh:

Wow, I'm late with the stickers this year!!! I have numbers 9998 and 9999 - just missed the cool number of 10000 by one. I used MS PowerPoint to color match the sticker, and came up with the RGB values of Red: 57; Green 47 Blue: 129. Can you tell I had too much time on my hands at lunch today?? :-)

Geezer - A similar thing happened to us with our new boat's bow number when we registered it this past spring. It's NH 4999 BJ. Would have liked to have gotten NH 5000 BJ! :laugh:

Now, about your new "purple" sticker ...... ;)

DRH

You did miss a great # but being 1 under is also pretty good and easy to remember.

When we bought our boat (used) it had what we feel is a great # of NH 8500 AH and it is easy to remember.

Bow numbers
 

Having a nice round number for bow numbers isn't always a great thing. Sure it looks cool to have 5000, or 4999, but it can be a pain. I have 9777. If you buy a number kit off the shelf, you typically only get 4 of each number/letter. So for mine I needed 6-7's. Kit came with 4, so I had to be creative to make 2 more 7's. I took a Z, and cut the bottom horizontal line to make a funny looking 7. Had to do that for each side...ugh. Looked crappy. So after one season I sucked it up and dropped $25 on custom numbers that look AWESOME! ;)

Registration contest
 

That's cool chip! You are a ture Yankee! You love a dollar but love your boat more. As we say....wicked cool!

As for the contest it is not for the lowest bow number, it is for the lowest,hence first, DECAL number.

Mine is 013685. Any one lower beats me and is line to be the new "Champion". That is the guy or gal who, in anticipation of 2005 got their registration in before the postman left the porch!

And Geez: The five is the number of boats that I register. It's a sickness.

I hope that there is no cure!

Misty

Yeah Misty. I thought you were talking about decal numbers. Mine is under 10,000, but I thought you were saying your was number 5, not how many boats you have - nobody was going to beat that - - the spark plug store must like to see you coming.

Speaking of easy to remember...has anybody else thought of "personalized" boat registrations like auto tags :laugh:
