Fonts Matter Not all fonts are made the same and more often than not state law will offer suggestions on the type of font your vessel uses. Typically as a rule of thumb the font must be clearly legible- meaning no scripted fonts or thin lines that make the Boat Registration difficult to view from a distance.
The vessel must display the boat number and expiration decal as stated below. Both port and starboard sides of the bow must display the registration number.
The boat registration number must be displayed on each side of the forward half of the vessel. The number must be in a plain block font and no less than three inches in height.
Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs aka Life Jackets) Ensure PFDs are readily accessible. In addition to the above requirement, Illinois boaters are required to carry at least one Type IV (throwable device) PFD aboard any vessel 16 feet or longer (with the exception of canoes and kayaks).
Illinois SB 2731 amends the Illinois Boat Registration and Safety Act and requires that operators of a boat towing a person or persons to display red or orange flags on their watercraft. The law says that flags must be orange and the flag must be displayed at the highest point of the area surrounding the boat's helm.
Number must be placed on each side of the bow of the vessel. Number must read from left to right on one line, starting with two capital letters—IL—followed by a space and four digits followed by a space and two capital letters, for example: IL 1234 AB. Number must be in at least three-inch-high BLOCK letters.
To transfer a boat title in Illinois, you'll need the current title signed by the seller, a bill of sale, valid identification, and the boat's registration details. All these documents ensure the transfer is legitimate and complies with legal requirements.
