Michigan requires that you display the Michigan Registration sticker on documented boats.  You will get a registration number when you register the boat but you do not have to display them.  Before I renewed the documentation on Corsair (Redwing 35), I displayed the registration numbers on a plastic panels hung from the bow lifelines.  Michigan has now outlawed that so I documented Corsair.  I hate putting registration numbers on the fiberglass bow.  Grace (C&C 35-3) already had registration numbers on the bow and has never been documented.

Interestingly enough, the water cops all think any boat over 25' that doesn't display registration numbers must be documented so they don't check.  Even if they aren't displaying the registration sticker.

Florida has a wonderful discount for “antique” vessels at least 30 years old. I think I pay $5 a year – as opposed to maybe $135 – because I sail a good old boat. Florida also requires a state decal for federally documented vessels such as mine, by the way.

Yes, it’s a sore subject for PA boaters on Lake Erie.  The law was changed several years ago to require State registration of Federally documented recreational vessels.  Registrations last two years, then must be renewed.  I don’t put my stickers on the bow, but they are affixed to fiberglass supports (port and starboard) for the main traveler and are clearly visible.  Don’t want to give my good friends at the PFBC another reason to board.
