| My crestliner sportfish 2050 Had the incorrect tag. I have an I/O and the tag was for an outboard model. I didn't do anything because the boat was over 20' (coast guard doesn't have a HP and capacity restriction on vessels over 20'). It would take a very on the ball officer to pick up the slight OB vs IO on the plate
My old 14 foot aluminum capacity plate was faded to the point it was barely readable. So I filled out some paper work I printed online from my state, sent in a check for $7 and I got a new capacity plate, what was cool was I had higher limits for HP and persons (this was because the coast guard formula was not as conservitive as my boats mfg)
So I drilled ou the rivits on my faded plate to put on my new plate, wouldn't you know it, the back side had another models numbers printed on it, completely different than my model.
So basing this advise sololy on that experience, drill out the rivits and flip it over and look, it may be printed on two sides (like mine was). if that's the case it might be correct for you, so rivet it back on, or if it isn't rivet it back on and get a new one made from your home state. Its really easy
