Sorry, Wayne but that's not quite accurate. Federal law dictates that NO state
can require you to post state registration numbers. No exceptions. Your
documentation number is the only "registration" number, and it is not posted on
the outside of the boat. If there is a serial number on a certificate of decal
issued by a state, it is not a registration number.

Well you are at least half right on that one, possibly 100%. I just
took my flashlight and walked down to the dock. My 24 ft cuddy is
registered with Florida and the number on the bottom of the sticker
corresponds with the reg numbers beginning with FL, same thing with
the dinghy. The GB49 is documented, and has a series of numbers on
the bottom of the sticker beginning with a "D". Tomorrow I will
check to see if the numbers on the sticker match up with my doc
number. Stay tuned.
