[C320-list] Documentation number location

[Rod Boer]

Doug,

I put mine inside the wet locker in the aft cabin. If my memory serves me
correct, which my wife says is always suspect, mine were stenciled to the
hull and over sprayed with a clear coating. It would be very difficult to
remove without causing a problem. I forget who I checked with at the time
regarding the location and method.

All,

I am the third owner of my 320. The first owner documented her. Second 
owner went with state registration. I went with documentation per my 
lender's requirements. I cannot find the numbers ANYWHERE inside the 
cabin or hull. Looking at my options to see where I want to place the 
numbers.

The rule says: "The official number assigned to documented vessels, 
preceded of the abbreviation "NO." must be marked in block-type Arabic 
numerals at least three inches high on some clearly visible interior 
structural part of the hull. The number must be permanently affixed so 
that alteration, removal, or replacement would be obvious and cause some 
scarring or damage to the surrounding hull area."

What I want to know is how many of you have opted for the "clearly 
visible" approach, as in out in plain sight. A lot of boats that I've 
been on have the numbers inside a locker or in the engine compartment.

Where do all of you have your numbers?
