The owner of any motorboat or sailboat over 12 feet in length shall within 15 days notify the Department if the motorboat or sailboat is destroyed or abandoned or is sold or transferred either wholly or in part to another person or persons. In all these cases, the notice shall be accompanied by a surrender of the certificate of number. When the surrender of the certificate is by reason of the motorboat or sailboat being destroyed or abandoned, the Department shall cancel the certificate of numbers and enter that fact in its records. The Department shall be notified in writing of any change of address. Should the owner desire a new certificate of numbers showing the new address, he or she shall surrender the old certificate and notify the Department of the new address, remitting $1 to cover the issuance of new certificate of numbers. If the surrender is by sale or transfer either wholly or in part to another person or persons, the owner surrendering the certificate shall state to the Department, under oath, the name of the purchaser or transferee.
