Coast Guard request for Certificate of Compliance

[fly4navy]

Looking for help and guidance please..

A USCG inspection of my 25 Seacraft (2001) found that I am lacking a "certificate of compliance" since their regs state that any boat built after 8/1/1978 and having a "closed fuel tank compartment" must display a "certificate of compliance".
I was told this is the same thing as the standard mfg's. placard which confirms max passenger capacity etc.

I could not find any such placard on my boat and the boat has not been rebuilt. Can anyone confirm where this placard would normally be found (suspect somewhere on the console), or where I could go to obtain the placard ("cert. of compliance" for my particular model.

Thanks to all who might be able to help on this, since the C.G. stated that they may make the boat stay in port without it.

G.R.
