However, in this case, no bow numbers are required on the hull - only the registration sticker must be placed on the hull in its usual spot on both sides of the bow.
I wonder how many times this boat would get stopped for no bow numbers though? Are the MP even aware of this rule? (I own a documented boat, so that's how I know).

We wondered that too and that is exactly why we put bow numbers on the big boat even though we didn't need to.
