In Pennsylvania, all motorized vessels, including power boats and personal watercraft, must have a registration number and valid decals to operate legally on public waters. Additionally, non-motorized vessels over 16 feet in length, such as sailboats, are also required to be registered. The registration helps ensure compliance with safety regulations and proper identification on the water.

Additionally, non-motorized vessels like canoes and kayaks must also be registered if they are used on certain designated waters. It is important for operators to ensure their vessels are properly registered to comply with state regulations.
Depends on what they are issued for, but you don't tell us that so we don't have a answer.
Yes a jet ski has to have a Validation decal fixed to the bow. I will paste a web site on here for more information. Validation Decals The registration number and validation decals must be displayed as follows. * Number must be painted, decaled, or otherwise affixed to each side of the bow on the forward half of the boat, placed to be clearly visible. * Number must read from left to right on both sides of the boat. * Number must be in bold, BLOCK letters, at least 3-inches high. * Number's color must contrast with its background. * Letters must be separated from the numbers by a 3 to 4 inch space or a hyphen. For example: MN 3717 ZW or MN-3717-ZW. * No other number, letter, design, or insignia may appear within 24 inches of the registration number or the validation decals. * Validation decals must be affixed on both sides of the bow, placed to the stern or rear of the registration number within four inches of the number. Only decals that are current may be visible, so remove expired decals before applying new ones. Non-motorized canoes, kayaks, rowing shells, paddle boats, sailboards, and sailboats must display the validation decal on each side of the forward half of the boat, but are not required to display the registration number. On non-motorized sailboards and sailboats, you may place the decals on the stern if it is impossible, because of the boat's design, to place them on the bow. PWCs are also required to display the registration number and validation decals
