Yes in Florida you need to obtain a vessel registration, but you do not need to display the numbers.
Only the registration sticker needs to be displayed on the port side of the documented boat. It goes either on the bow where the numbers and sticker usually go, on a window/windshield, or common for sailboat, on the port side of the mast base. An unadvertised detail about FL vessel registration is that for vessels older than 30yrs, one can register as an antique vessel which costs only $5/yr rather than the usual $100/yr. -- Paul E > On Apr 29, 2014, at 8:55 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 20:08:49 -0400 > From: Rick Brass <rickbr...@earthlink.net> > To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > Subject: Re: Stus-List newly documented vessel > Message-ID: <0c135f42-be2e-4447-8ad9-4dd2bf5fe...@earthlink.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > You'll need to ask the state.
