Covering Hull Number

randalnh · 09-27-2015, 12:17 PM

I am installing an extended swim platform on my boat and it will be a permanent installation. The lip of the swim platform will cover the stamped-in hull numbers in the upper right side of the transom. The location of the hull numbers makes it infeasible to cut a viewing port in the swim platform lip as the hull number and the platform edge are at the same spot.

Do I need to have the hull number inspected and certified by Marine Patrol or other regulatory body before permanently covering up?
