marine dealer, as defined in section 15-141, may make application to the Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles for a general distinguishing number and mark in lieu of registering
each boat trailer owned by him or in his custody, and the commissioner may issue to
the applicant a certificate or certificates of registration containing the distinguishing
number and mark assigned to such applicant, and made in a form and containing any
further information that the commissioner may require. Each such boat trailer owned
by such applicant or temporarily in his custody shall be regarded as registered under

application shall contain an affidavit stating that such dealer is a person engaged in the
business of manufacturing, selling or repairing new or used vessels and that such person

For the registration of all boat trailers registered under a general distinguishing number
and mark, the commissioner shall charge a fee at the rate of fifty dollars per annum or
any part thereof for each number plate furnished. The issuance of such registrations
shall be in the sole discretion of the commissioner and may be recalled at any time for
any reason or cause the commissioner deems sufficient.
(b) Each marine dealer who is in possession of one or more such registrations shall
report such information to the tax assessor of the municipality wherein such dealer is
