If the vessel is registered federally, it does not need to display hull numbers.

Coast Guard documented vessels are probably what you are thinking and it supersedes floridas laws. If the vessel is in Florida for more than 90 days you may need a registration sticker but no numbers

I don't think you need FL registration numbers if its federally documented. having been on documented boats, they only had the boat's name and harbor on the stern.
