I have to do the same every year with my boat. The sticker tells the LEOs they don't need to bother me and all is good.

what state inspection do you have for boats each year? all I have done the past 55 years is mail in my $$ every 2-3 years for renewal. the only inspection I had was by the coast guard reserve to get their sticker.
now the state wardens do check for life jackets, etc. if you are unlucky, in fact my friend got a ticket for not having a throwable device. his question to the officer was that since he was alone, who was going to throw it to whom? still cost him $50.

One I'm aware of is in areas where Coast Guard & Coast Guard Auxiliary patrol, they will do a safety inspection and give you a one year sticker that indicates you passed. Then, hopefully the CG, game wardens, etc. wont stop to check you again. It isn't related to state registration.
The throwable rule when solo is kind of odd :)
