235.050 Application for title and registration -- Accompanying documents. (1) (2) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, before the owner or operator of each motorboat required to be registered and numbered by KRS 235.040 may operate it or permit its operation upon the waters of this state, the owner shall apply for title and registration to the county clerk of the county in which he resides, except, if the motorboat is to be operated principally in a county other than the county of the owner's residence the owner may apply for title and registration to the county clerk of the county in which the motorboat is to be principally operated. A motorboat last titled and registered in another state and purchased by a person for operation in this state shall be first titled and registered in this state by and in the name of the purchaser and not in the name of the seller.

Motorboats shall be registered annually. If an application for title and registration is filed with the county clerk prior to the annual registration date established by the Transportation Cabinet, the registration period shall include less than twelve (12) consecutive months and registration fees shall be computed at a rate of one-twelfth (1/12) of the appropriate annual registration fee set out in KRS 235.080 per month of the remaining registration period.
