Sorry, can't be done. Once the factory sticker is in place, it cannot
be altered in any way or removed. It's in the CFR's. The
manufacturer certifies the design criteria which the CG reviews and
approves, but once it's in place, that's it - can't do anything to it.
In addition, if there is a Canadian sticker on it, you can't remove or
alter that in any way either.

The next years identical boat may have different ratings. The Offshore
17 DSC was introduced with a 90 hp rating, was later a 115hp rating.
The same thing with one of the Switzers too(I think the 17'), was a
150hp, then 200hp rating.

But I have never heard of going over or replacing USCG plates after the
boat was built.
