Every manufacturer of or dealer in motorboats in this state shall register with
the cabinet at Frankfort, Kentucky, and pay an annual registration fee as set by
the department by administrative regulation. Upon receipt of this fee, the
department shall issue to the manufacturer or dealer a certificate of number
and a plate bearing the number assigned, which plate shall be so designed that
it can be transferred from boat to boat. Every manufacturer or dealer registered
under this section shall be furnished additional dealer certificates of number
and plates upon the payment of two dollars ($2) for each additional certificate
of number desired. A motorboat bearing dealer's plates and carrying a dealer's
certificate of number may be used only by a member of the firm registered or
by a bona fide salesman or employee of the firm for any purpose reasonably
connected with the sale or demonstration for sale and delivery of the dealer's
motorboat or by any manufacturer or dealer, licensed as provided above, in
transporting any motorboat over the waters of this state to his place of retail
business for the manufacturer or wholesale dealer in motorboats and for no
other purpose.
Every motorboat dealer or manufacturer who acquires a used motorboat for
cash, trade-in, or in any other manner, shall within fifteen (15) days from date
of acquisition have the registration assigned to himself. The dealer shall
execute his application for assignment upon documents designated by the
cabinet to the county clerk of the county in which he maintains his principal
place of business and pay the transfer fee. The clerk shall enter the
assignment upon the automated system.
The dealer shall retain the properly assigned certificate of title received from
his transferor and may make any reassignments thereon until the forms for
dealer assignment on the certificate of title are exhausted. The cabinet may, if
it deems warranted, provide a special document to allow for additional dealer
assignments without requiring system generated documents.
If the dealer assigns the motorboat to a purchaser for use, he shall deliver the
properly assigned certificate of title to the purchaser, who shall make
application for registration and a certificate of title thereon, pursuant to KRS
235.050.
The cabinet shall insure that the automated system is capable of accepting
instructions from the county clerk that a certificate of title shall not be produced
under a dealer registration situation.
The license of any dealer or manufacturer may be suspended or revoked by
the cabinet for a violation of any section of this statute. Such persons shall be
afforded a full opportunity to defend themselves against any charges at a
hearing set by this department.
