It's not entirely unreasonable for boats to have registration numbers, BUT there is almost zero enforcement on the water, it's the wild west, so there is little point on a day-to-day basis. It might be useful retrospectively if someone is breaking MPI or DOC rules or has been involved in a serious incident I suppose. Just like guns, I would wager a lot of those people wouldn't bother registering in the first place.
