From the Code of Alabama, 33-5-11:

The owner of each vessel requiring numbering by this state shall file an application for a number with the probate judges' offices, or license commissioner, in the county of residence of the purchaser, or the county in which the vessel is domiciled, or in the county where the vessel is purchased, or if purchased out of state, in the county of residence of the purchaser, or in the county where the vessel is domiciled on forms approved by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

From the Code of Alabama, 33-5-15:

(a) Any vessel already covered by a number in full force and effect which has been awarded to it pursuant to the operative federal law or federally approved numbering system of another state may be operated on the waters of this state for a period of 90 consecutive days without being licensed under the provisions of this article. Any vessel operating for more than 90 consecutive days must then be registered and licensed in the same manner as other vessels are required to be licensed under this article.

Since this topic arises periodically, it will be nice to have your information archived here. Hope someone can remember how to search for it.

Subject:   But what if it is sold?
Date:   8/6/2004 6:55:51 AM

As I read this law: if a boat is bought by me and was registered legally by me in any of the 48 other states (not counting the new country of Texas), then I have 90 days to register it in Alabama, as long as I don't operate it one of the 90 days in Georgia, for instance. I'd have to keep a "ship's log" to as my evidience of compliance with the 90 day provision in case of a ticket by an overzealous WP officer.
If the boat is sold, the "90-day law" would not apply since the boat isn't registered to the original owner anymore. In other words, you can't apply this law to 4X4's situation since he wasn't the registered boat owner in Texas.

Maybe Gary is reading and can clarify.
