I have some rego stickers for my boat they look like

AB123Q

the question is the AB123 are only 165mm high but the Q is 200mm
must just be the font as it is just as above with the Q having a low bit.

Is this legal in QLD?? or can I be booked?

thanks

You can be booked.
They need to be 200mm high in a contrasting colour to the hull

The really stupid thing about it is they need to be that big according to QLD decision makers so they can be seen but a jetski needs only 100mm if I remember correctly and in NSW they need only be 150mm high (again if I remember correctly)

Stupid rule makers...:-/

Finga is correct,at least in the QLD rules,don't know about the others,and they will ping you for it.Mine were only 150mm high to start with and stood out like the preverbial,had black with gold outline,didn't matter had to change them,they made a note on the computer and warned the next itme i will be fined,so got them done straight away.PS i know a good sticker cutter.Jim

Same here, water police gave me a warning and took my details.
New numbers were on before the next trip.

Yep 200mm no smaller... and I reckon 30% of boats out there have some 150mm or smaller :( The police could rake in a fortune if they actually went on a spree and measured every boats stickers in QLD. Don't know why they havent already??

Mine are like your's, the Q is 200mm. I have have been pulled over but never had the size questioned.

Mine are legal height, but then have a few little bits missing and therefore not legal.

Been meaning to make some new ones but its a pain to make them stick to a polycraft.

Ok thanks all..

I will put on 200mm ones with the help from ausfish.

I already have the boat name on and it looks great.

I must say the ausfish stickers are easier to apply than some of the other ones that are around and the applicator made it easier again.
