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.

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.
