Manage dealer demonstration numbers as a controlled set

TWRA says dealer or manufacturer registrations may move between demonstration vessels, but the same number cannot be used simultaneously on more than one vessel. It permits the number on removable signs temporarily but firmly attached to the demonstration boat, with the Certificate of Number aboard. This is dealer-specific guidance, not a general permission for privately operated boats. Confirm the registration category and mounting requirements before ordering a demonstration set.

For a dealer, keep a sign checkout register with the assigned number, current demonstration vessel, responsible employee and return status. Label the artwork as a dealer demonstration set so it is not mistaken for permanent customer registration lettering. Have the dealership approve the exact text and proposed sign dimensions. A graphics order covers the artwork specification; the customer must arrange and verify a suitable physical mounting method. Do not release two apparently interchangeable kits into service without a process that prevents concurrent use of the same assigned number.

When a demonstrated boat is sold, remove it from the dealership’s graphics allocation record and start a separate customer proof using the buyer’s confirmed assignment. Keep sales branding, dealer signs and customer number sets in different package groups. Truck and transporter graphics can share dealership branding but require their own vehicle dimensions and applicable carrier wording. Identify who receives spare pieces and who is permitted to request reprints. This avoids an old demonstration proof being reused as though it were the customer’s permanent vessel identifier.

Send the Tennessee delivery ZIP code, recipient, quantities and approved artwork with your quote request. Materials, production timing and freight are confirmed during review. Installation is arranged separately; printed vehicle-wrap panels need the independent installer’s dimensions and overlap instructions. Saving or exporting a configuration preserves specifications but does not complete payment, obtain official documents or set an arrival date. Check current agency guidance before approving any regulated markings.
