Any owner desiring to obtain a vessel registration number or decal shall furnish evidence of ownership in the form of a bill of sale indicating that the owner has been the purchaser of the vessel. If the applicant for registration does not have a bill of sale, the applicant may file a sworn affidavit as to the fact of such applicant's ownership of the vessel desired to be registered. The applicant also shall disclose in writing to the commissioner any other ownership interests in a vessel. Any marine dealer selling a used marine vessel shall provide the new owner with the name and address of the former owner and the previous vessel number.
