Back when I was a ski bum, we used to buy the day-passes from folks who were
leaving and put them on our jackets. To get them off, we'd wipe them with
brake fluid: it completely neutralized the glue and the sticker would peel
off like a piece of wet paper, but when it dried, it completely evaporated,
reactivated the glue, and left no trace on the ticket. It also worked on old
State of Maine Inspection stickers (if you had a car that wouldn't pass
inspection, just head down to the junkyard and find some car that recently
wrecked, and take that sticker off the windshield using brake fluid as a
solvent. ...Allegedly...)

Has anyone tried that on their permit stickers?

Note that brake fluid can do a number on certain kinds of paint, no
idea about gelcoat. Don't try to save a few dollars and end up spening
lots of money fixing the damage.

At least try the solvent on a hidden part of the boat, or a scrap
piece of another one.

Happy trails,
