POS registration sticker already fell off my boat. Every year I end up losing at least one sticker. It’s been so bad that when I get checked by the CO, they never have any issue with it because they know they all fall off.

Strange, I've never lost a single one in 25 years and I'm on the water a LOT.
I guess I better check my stickers when I get home today. I've had my license plate fall off the trailer twice, but I've never lost a sticker.

Lost both of mine first trip out this year.
I lose at least one every year. The record so far is 3 in one year.
I gotta ask. Are you guys wiping the area with alcohol before you put your stickers on, or are you sticking them on over top of the bassboat saver/slick mist/boat bling?

I've lost a few over recent years.

I've tried it all. Cleaning down to the hull. Putting stickers on stickers. Even tried some kind of spray that was supposed to make them stick better. I think some of it is due to location. My stickers go below my rub rail and occasionally get "washed". I think the guts that don't ever have problems are likely to have them above the rub rail.
I've lost several, but my aluminum boat is painted camo and has a rough surface. Best bet is to use Goo-Gone or similar anti-adhesive product, wipe / scrape clean, use alcohol to remove residual Goo-Gone, dry, then apply. If you put it over and old sticker or sticker residual it has a lot higher odds of coming off. They aren't the greatest, but shouldn't come off of a truly 'clean' surface, especially gelcoat.
I had an Asian carp face plant into the side of my boat Saturday and my stickers survived just fine except for a little carp snot, or whatever that horrible substance is.
