So the time has come to toss the freebie registration numbers that the dealer gave me with my Mojo and go with something more in character.
I have three main options I am considering. Option A is from 3dlettering.com and is the Pro Emblem in Flat Black.
Option B is from domedlettering.com and is black with a dark gray outline in Masque.
Option C is from domedlettering.com and is dark dray with a black outline in Masque.
Pictures of the options to follow.

As long as it meets state law for contrasting color. The numbers should be readable from 100 feet away. I had the same blue metalflake and used white but then I had a top deck being white.
So B and C are not the same style as A. They are just the standard domed letters and not the 3D flat black hard plastic. Just wanna make sure that’s clear.

OPtion A. Really like that 3d lettering and how the thickness tapers at top and bottom. I might order these.
I think in Michigan, the numbers need to be below the rub rail.

B or C. The “Moomba style” letters look the best IMO. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b171888d2e.jpg

B or C for sure...Doomed Letters are hard to beat in my opinion and they definitely need to be below the rub rail not above!
I have numbers form 3dlettering.com. mine are the emblem type in black chrome - same finish as the black chrome Moomba logo. Super high quality piece, they get a lot of comments from other boaters. My issue with them are they they don't match either of the fonts already on the boat (Moomba Logo or Craz logo). If i did it again i;d probably try to match the Craz logo in gel type domed numbers as opposed to the Moomba since it feels like it balances out better to me: that font would be on the bow and stern and the Moomba logo would be unique in the center.
I dont have any great pics, but here is what i have:

Awesome looking boat right there!! Are the fonts not the same for the "MOOMBA" AND "CRAZ"?Quote:

I want to believe that, but it looks so much different to me!
I’d go with the domed numbers option [emoji1360]

I did doomed numbers. I like the way it turned out, but quite honestly if i had to do it again i would have just matched the font and did flat vinyl. We are talking about registration numbers. When is the last time you ever pulled up to a cool boat and said "nice numbers".. Its the last thing i look at. I spent $100 on mine and really could have gotten away with $20 font matched closely enough on Amazon. Not taking anything away from doomed numbers. They are nice, but for me i wouldn't do it again. I guess i got caught up in the new boat hysteria where everything has to be perfect.
If our dealer provided our registration numbers in a normal font I might have just used those but the OP and I's dealer feels compelled to give customers #s in Comic Sans. It's childish scribble on an otherwise badass ride...Quote:

Agree. On such an expensive boat, seems like a small price to pay.Quote:

Looking at yours I really like the flake in the black. Maybe I should do a white outline as that is my accent color?Quote:

I think Black Metallic flake with White outline would look sharp!

Question is, is doming them worth $110??? Because that is the price difference.Quote:

They would be way cheaper going that route and still look great!!
now this is funny.... :)Quote:

I guess if nothing better to spend coin on gets fancy letters but I'd take it to the bank.
this coming from the guy that is spending this friday ripping tint off the windshield of my boat as it's about as easy to see thru as looking out a closed window :)
5% is pretty dark....20% gives most of the sinister exterior look while maintaining a reasonable amount of interior visibility.

You gotta get the good lights because of the murky water hahahahahaQuote:

knowing there's enough hazards on the waterway to watch out for I can't figure out why someone would put something on that would degrade visibility and offer zero benefits other than it looks cool. tint on a car protects the interior but tint on an open air boat?? don't get it.
or maybe I just need underwater lights facing forward to see ;)
20% is where it is at [emoji106] that being said I feel like the Supra Windshield is a lot taller than the Moomba so I could see it being a little bit of a pain. I am looking over mine 95% of the time so it is nice to have.Quote:
