Sec. 8. The owner of a motorboat that is required to be registered and numbered by Indiana shall request to register the motorboat with the bureau. At the time of filing the request, the requesting party must provide proof of ownership and a hull identification number to the bureau. If the motorboat has not been previously assigned a hull identification number, the owner of the motorboat shall apply for a hull identification number under IC 9-17 at the time of registration. For purposes of registering a motorboat or obtaining a hull identification number to register a motorboat, ownership may be established by any one (1) of the following:
(1) A manufacturer's or importer's certificate.
(2) A sworn statement of ownership as prescribed by the bureau. An affidavit executed, under penalties for perjury, by the person filing the application shall be accepted as proof of ownership for any motorboat or sailboat that:
(A) is a Class 5 or lower motorboat under IC 6-6-11-11 (the boat excise tax) and the motorboat is not titled under IC 9-17; or
(B) is propelled by an internal combustion, steam, or electrical inboard or outboard motor or engine or by any mechanical means, including sailboats that are equipped with such a motor or engine when the sailboat is in operation whether or not the sails are hoisted, if:
(i) the motorboat was made by an individual for the use of the individual and not for resale; and
(ii) the motorboat is not titled under IC 9-17.
(3) A certificate of title or bill of sale.
(4) Other evidence of ownership required by the law of another state from which the motorboat is brought into Indiana.
