No, it's not correct.
The manufacturer is required to display the Hull Identification Number on
the stern.
Documentation numbers are displayed on the inside of the hull. The specific
wording of the CG regulations is:
OFFICIAL NUMBERS: The six or seven digit official number awarded by the
U.S. Coast Guard must be permanently marked in block type Arabic numerals
not less than three (3) inches high on some clearly visible interior
structural part of the hull. The number must be preceded by the
abbreviation "NO.", and must be affixed in a manner which would make
alteration, removal, or replacement obvious.

Then click on "Instructions for Completing the (CG-1258)" to read the
complete requirements.
