How would one go about attaching this number?

Write it somewhere with a magic marker. If they argue, Show them the
magic marker you used, which has the word "permanent" printed on the
label.

Sounds good to me, but for some reason I don't think that would fly.
I did paint the registration numbers on though, and with red paint
instead of black (boat is gray), instead of buying those decals
everyone uses... so I'm already asking for trouble =]

Please check salty's history before you listen to anything he says..
He likes to troll and is a boating poser, it's more of a social status
thing, it's a long story.. Anyway, get the chunk of metal, stamp it
in, and rivit it to the boat. I won't argue the reasoning, but they
want it attached permanantly so they can better tell if you are using
it on more than one boat.. Magic marker can be easily painted over.. A
placard leaves signs of being moved or re-used.. I won't argue the
reasoning, but that's just the way they see it, at least around here..
