			 certificate.

			 violation of this regulation to operate or permit a vessel to be operated
			 unless said vessel has attached to each side of the bow said registration
			 number, together with the current-year decals. Only the current-year decal

			 valid registration number issued to a vessel shall remain with that vessel
			 until the vessel is destroyed, abandoned, or vessel is no longer principally
			 used in the state where the certificate was issued.
