Coming from a New York lawyer, this may be a silly question but here goes. I have just registered my new boat in NY, paid the almost 20K in sales tax, and received my registration and two bright blue stickers. The boat is also going to be documented. With my pretty fighting yellow lady hull, blacked out side windows and bright white superstructure looking quite nice, I have no desire to stick these bright blue stickers on any part of the boat. I know having done it all legit, I am not in fear of a real problem if I do not show off my stickers, or heaven forbid, registration numbers but with that said, and the statute aside, is there any compelling reason for me to slap on these blue stickers? The Coasties probably don't care and with the the County police rarely stop anyone.
