Hardline Products registration plate kit 4 x 24 Plate Only, marine-grade ABS pair for inflatables

Hardline Products' USA Registration Plate Kit supplies two marine-grade 4" x 24" ABS plates and adjustable hook & loop straps to mount registration numbers on inflatables without adhesives.

Mounted registration plates are required for many small boats, and inflatables need a solution that won't damage delicate PVC or Hypalon fabrics. This kit from Hardline Products was designed in the USA for dinghies, RIBs and inflatable boats, providing the mandated 4" x 24" plate area while using a mechanical strap system instead of glue or tape.

How does this kit keep inflatable hulls safe from adhesive damage?

Instead of sticky glues that can soften, stain or delaminate soft-hull materials, the kit secures plates using nylon hook & loop straps and non-corrosive buckles. That means no adhesive residue, easier repositioning, and no permanent alteration to PVC or Hypalon surfaces.

• Four heavy-duty 12-inch nylon hook & loop straps included
• Non-corrosive buckles resist saltwater corrosion
• Mechanical attachment avoids sealants that can harm fabrics

Will these plates withstand marine exposure and fuel spills?

The plates are thermoformed from 1/16" high-impact ABS with semi-flexible strength to tolerate UV, salt spray and incidental fuel contact without cracking or yellowing. Their construction balances rigidity for flat display and enough flexibility to follow moderate hull curvature.

• Marine-grade ABS resists UV degradation and discoloration
• Semi-flexible profile conforms to gentle curves
• High-impact material tolerates typical deck and dock wear

Are these plates compliant with USCG and state registration size requirements?

Yes. Each plate measures the USCG- and state-accepted 4" x 24", providing the required surface area to apply 3" registration numbers and state decals. The smooth finish accepts standard vinyl decals sold separately.

• Exact 4" x 24" dimensions for required visibility
• Smooth, flat face optimized for vinyl letter application
• Pair includes Port and Starboard plates for both sides

How easy is installation and what does the kit include?

Installation is fast: thread the straps around a grab rope, D-ring or handle, route them through the plate slots and secure with the hook & loop closure. No tools, glue, or special adhesives are required—just accessible attachment points on your boat.

• Two white 4" x 24" ABS plates (Port and Starboard)
• Four 12" heavy-duty hook & loop straps with buckles
• Installation requires grab ropes, D-rings or similar attachment points

Who is this for? This registration plate kit suits inflatable boat owners who need a safe, reversible and regulation-sized display for their registration numbers. It's ideal for RIBs, inflatables, tenders and small soft-hulled craft where preserving the fabric's integrity is a priority and accessibility to mounting points like grab handles or D-rings is available.
