You got it.. You could put it on several boats, but here and there you
get stopped and checked for this and that.. If they see anything
supicious or check the numbers etc. Good luck whichever way you go,
just get that hull wet before the summer is over.. ;)

Do the water cops ever check the reg numbers?
Reason I ask is here in Illinois you renew your car sticker every
year. The sticker is a couple inches long and a 1/2 inch wide.
Gets stuck on the plate.
The cops look at that, because I got stopped once after forgetting to
put the new sticker on.
The only thing readable without getting real close is month
and year of expiration. There's a very tiny serial number but the
average cop would need a magnifier to read it.
Couple weeks ago my kid noticed his sticker was missing.
Some lame-ass had actually peeled it off, leaving a corner
behind, probably to stick it on his own expired plate.
If he gets stopped and the cop runs the plate, it'll probably
be flagged as expired, but I don't know for sure.
Cost the kid 20 bucks for a replacement sticker.
They should go back to new plates every year, which is job creation
for the convicts.

Is not uncommon for sticker theft here in Calif. Very expensive
registration. $25 or so dollars plus 2% of the value of the vehicle. Bad
thing about the sticker replacment. Cost. Couple years ago, I had to get a
replacement license plate for the trailer. Get the plate and a new sticker.
Costs $2 less than just getting a replacement sticker.
