Again, the bow numbers do not need to stay unless the boat is going to remain in NH.

Peeling the registration stickers off does not cancel the registration, it only means that YOUR BOAT is not displaying valid evidence of registration. If the boat is involved in an accident or incident and the officer runs the registration number guess what? The boat is still registered to you, but you could be cited for failing to display valid evidence of that registration.

If you cancel the registration with the state and then allow a person to take the boat from your dock while you know it is no longer registered you could also be in violation. It would be similar to letting someone drive your car who you know has no drivers license.

Some tricky legal ground that the lawyers will have years to take apart!
