Realistically...
I don't intend to test this theory, but I'm pretty sure one could use the craziest multi-colored 'cursive' writing available for the transom name, and use "Pork & Bean, BFE" for the hailing port, and never get a comment from the USCG. Unless you pissed them off and they were just looking for a random reason to write you up. Has anyone been scolded or fined for non-compliant transom info? In 45+ years of boating I've never heard anyone mention it.
