A. Upon issuance of a license to sell new vessels or new motors, there shall be assigned and issued to such dealer three demonstration permits for vessels, three demonstration permits for motors, or three demonstration permits for each such class the dealer has been authorized to sell. Such permits shall be displayed upon each vessel or motor owned by the dealer when the vessel or motor is driven or displayed on any water of this state. No such demonstration permit issued to any dealer shall be used or displayed upon any secondhand or used vessel or motor, or upon any new vessel or motor which is for private use, or for hire. Any dealer or agent thereof for purposes of demonstrating a vessel or motor for a sale, or any other person, with consent of the dealer, while contemplating purchase, may operate a new vessel or motor with the dealer's demonstration permit affixed so long as this intent is limited to a consecutive seventy-two-hour period, or a weekend. For the purposes of this subsection, “driven or displayed on any water of this state” does not include the use of a vessel or motor for participation in a contest.
B. Each dealer of new and used vessels or motors, shall keep a record of the purchase and sale of each vessel or motor he buys or sells, which shall show the name of the seller or buyer as the case may be, and a complete description of the vessel or motor purchased or sold, and such other information as the Commission may prescribe.
