Absolutely.

Registration numbers go on the outside of the boat.

Boats can be registered with the state (or the USCG in Alaska) or, if big
enough, federally
documented with the USCG.

There are other requirements on documented boats.

I think you meant documentation number, not registration number.


Oh gee, thanks for the very useful response. I am sure that the fact that
it is a documentation number and not a registration number will make a
huge difference in how I attach it to the boat.
