Default Boat Registration and Numbers

My uncle gifted my brother and I a boat. He lives in Texas and we live in Louisiana. My question is, we already changed over the title and are in the process of changing over the trailer registration, how long do we have before we have to change out the numbers on the boat? I am assuming that since we switched over the title that we are going to have to renumber the boat with LA #s?

Also, what is the best way to get the old texas registration numbers off the boat so we can put the new ones on there? Want to get them off cleanly without damaging the fiberglass.

Talk to a notary......just had it done a 14' for my boys that I forgot to get done & it's been almost a year.

Stickers?.....Try a hair dryer to get the stickers off then to get the excess glue off thay make some stuff called Sticker off or try goo gone or even WD-40

Use a razor blade to get the numbers off......then go to auto parts store and buy the spray to remove window tint......it is amazing how good that stuff works.......also, I purchased my boat almost a year ago from Fla......I just did my numbers last week......been pulled over a few times and told them I just got it and they said. ....OK...enjoy your new boat!!!!

Go to the LDWF office. Get the paperwork to change registration.
Once you fill it out, keep one copy for the temp. reg. and mail in the other with the check.
The the back side of the duplicate paperwork tells you everything you need to know.

Best trick in the book. Use a hair dryer on hot and the letters will peel right off. Just did and it is amazingly simple and 0 chance to damage boat.

**IMO - DO NOT USE A RAZOR BLADE**
