• The bow number must read from left to right on both sides of the vessel.
• The bow number must be in at least three-inch-high, bold, plain, vertical BLOCK characters.
• The bow number must contrast with the background color of the hull and be legible from a distance of 150 feet.
• The bow number's letters must be separated from the numbers by a space or hyphen: UT 2628 BP or UT-2628-BP.
• No other numbers may be displayed on either side of the bow.
