Cleaning the boat today, I've noticed that the colour is separating off the rego numbers, leaving just the white vynol sticker only. These are stuck on top of the stacer waves on the boat.

Can I just get replacement stickers/where ? Should I remove the reminder of the stickers and how ?

While on Rego, Does QLD send out new rego letter/etc for the trailer/boat, or I do renew somewhere first etc ?

do you have a pic, sounds like they have been painted to match something...

mate - I presume you are talking about the large boat rego stickers on your boat? You can buy these at chandleries etc. as for removing them - maybe pm Dave (Blackened) for advice?
your rego renewal should be the same as your car - ie a letter first then you pay and you are sent the stickers

I also have this problem, I think it's the 'W' haha. It's only hanging on my a thread on the starboard side.
When they stuck them to the tinnie in the first place when I bought it they didn't press it properly over the contours.

How much do new black rego boat stickers cost from chandleries roughly for a set?

Peace

You can get custom ones here for quite possibly less money then the dodgy boat shop ones. Steve can even do them in different styles and colours

Rego numbers have to be in a contrasting colour to the hull, e.g. black/blue on white/yellow or vice versa. Un-readable, peeling, split stickers can see you nicked!

A hair dryer or heat gun on low should get most off and metho for the residue.
Follow the Ausfish directions for applying new vinyl stickers.

there's not a limit on fonts that I'm aware of;

I've seen italic type fonts if that's what you mean?
Have a look at some of the Ausfish ones available.

The only font limits in qld is boats not capable of planing minimum of 75mm high
PWC minimum 75 mm
all other boats capable of planing minimum 200 mm high

well there you go my QLD GOV boat safe workbook says PWC minimum 75mm
online GOV site says minimum 100mm must have changed recently

How old is your BoatSafe workbook? it's been 100mm for over 18 months.

it's not surprising, the latest brochures on Collision Regulations have a strangely worded part! the boating & fishing handbooks still contain outdated CPR procedures.
proof reading doesn't appear to be a strong point.
