I would not release the boat to the new owner until it was registered in their name. You can be sure if the new owner does something illegal or gets into any kind of an accident you, as the registered owner of the boat, will be named in any lawsuit or at a minimum be called as a witness in any court proceeding. It would be very risky if the new (potentially inexperienced) owner shows up to pick up his/her new boat with mom and the kids for a day of tubing on the big lake in a boat registered to you. No thank you!
You can leave the bow numbers in place as they need to stay, but just remove the state registration stickers. Easy solution.
