So, you are registered, now what?
You are almost ready to (legally) hit the water. You just need a few things to take with you and most of the time these are outlined in the information you get during the registration process. Use this article as a guide but be sure to check your state's regulations.
1) Apply your ID numbers. Most states require the letters (stickers) to be at least 3" tall and have contrasting colors from the background. They normally have to be applied on both sides of the body and can easily be found at you local hardware or Wal-Mart.
2) Apply your registration sticker where instructed. (usually on the starboard side)
3) Have one life jacket on board for every passenger
4) Have some rope on board
5) Some states also require a whistle or any other device for making a noise (ie. airhorn).
