| May 21, 2014 at 20:07 | comment | added | Third News | This explanation seems (though incorporating the new law) explains the history: "M means motor and the V means vessel. On govt vessels like navy ships the letters tell you what govt or country the ship is owned by. On small private boats in the states the initials of the state will be present that it was registered in plus a number. EX: CA. 453387 This would mean California registration number 453387." answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070612195346AAB7RhL | |
