boat name on transom
 

Im putting my boat name on the transom of my 20CC. Not sure if I should put boat name on one side and hailing port on the other. Or both on one side. Any of you guys have pics of yours? I need some inspiration.

Do you have a motherwell ut out that is why one side or the other?

I used do do alot of lettering snd most on a transome with outboards it was on the left and the POC was smaller under the name

I have both on starboard side. Swim ladder is on the port side.

23 but an example of on the side

Yeah im going starboard side with both. Thanks for the input.

Normally hailing ports are put on larger boats...however I do like the name on the sides for most CC.

Hailing ports are only required if the boat is documented. And according to the requirements it must be on the stern, and the name also needs to be on the both sides of the bow. My 2 cents is don't bother with it, just put the the name on her. If you decide to move the boat you'll have to change it, or if you sell it the next owner will need to do the same.

when i had my boat i had to put the name on both sides because i was documented for coastwise fishery,name and port on the back

for the record mine is on both sides

The name and hailing port of a recreational vessel must be marked together on some clearly visible exterior part of the hull. The vessel name of a commercial vessel must also be marked on the port and starboard bow and the vessel name and the hailing port must also be marked on the stern. All markings may be made by any means and materials that result in durable markings and must be at least four inches in height, made in clearly legible letters of the Latin alphabet or Arabic or Roman numerals. The "hailing port" must include both a place and a State, Territory, or possession of in the United States. The state may be abbreviated.
