Jeff, call your local lock smiths. Usually they have a set of those stamps to make metal key tags. You could cut a piece of aluminum and stamp it then trim to fit.

I got mine at a office supply place, to plates for like $5.00. I had to put one on the right rear and hide the other, mine come with double sided tape which helped hold it in place while pop riveted it. Had to send AGAF pictures after to get my final paperwork to reg.

oh cool! good info, was it like office depot or something??

Yeah, a little mom and pop place in North Little Rock called Settle Office Products 758-1050.

good deal, was it made out of brass, or steel or what? office depot shows brass plates but nothing more substantial.

Aluminum but the rivets pulled it so tight against the boat I don't think it will be a problem. You might try a trophy shop as well that's basically what it is, the little plate off the front of a trophy.

Just get you an engraver from harbor freight and engrave it under the seat. It ain't got to look pretty. That's what I did. All them boats did start out with the suffix of TW if I remember right with 6 digits behind it.

I just went to the hardware store and they stamped out the number on a brass plate kinda like a long dog tag. Was about $2.00 I think.

I had a friend in AR that had a rich line boat - looked very similar to yours - his wasn’t painted. Found some info on his model on Pinterest that may provide help for you.

Well, to update this, I went to Harbor Freight in Jax, got me an engraver for $7, a pop riveter for $4 and went home, etched it on a piece of aluminum and stuck it on the boat and mailed my form with pictures back, and Lord willing will get the form back to get it licensed...go blind Uncle Ted, lol

thanks for all y'alls help!

Now I hope to take her out to Overcup this weekend and do some fishing!
