I had the same problem with the missing decal so I wrote to the parks and recreation and this is their answer. I hope it helps. I will make a copy of this and carry in my boat. Everything between the dots is a cut and past from the email I was sent from Parks and recreation. (NOT fish and game, seems they do not have jurisdiction on this) I wrote them also.
................
There are two different
tags, one is for the HIN (Hull Identification Number) and the second tag
is for the capacity plate.
To answer your question for it being the HIN tag. The registration
certificate, issued by the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles, will have
this on your registration certificate. The HIN tag is generally located
on the right rear side of the boat and should be something in reference
with eight to twelve characters.
To answer your question for it being the capacity plate. If you are
unable to obtain this information from Smoker Craft, then you can use
this formula to determine what your boats capacity is; vessel length
(feet) multiply vessel width (feet) dived by 15. This will give you the
total maximum number of people you may have your boat. You can take the
total number of people then multiply by 150, this will give you the
total maximum weight limit. I would then take these two numbers (total
maximum number of people and total maximum weight limit number and place
them on a 3 x 5 index card with the formulas listed. I would keep this
with your registration certificate that is required to be on your boat
at all times.
I hope that this information will assist you and thank you for your
interest in the Utah State Parks Boating Program. If you have any
further questions, please feel free to contact me.

I went online to the parks and recreation web site and then did the contact and it gave an email address. It took them 4 to 5 days to respond but I got one with the name of the person who responded but I did not want to put her name on this posting.
