Such sale shall be subject to approval and confirmation by the court or rejection by the court, upon motion and showing of good cause therefor, which motion may be made by the plaintiff, or by any party of record, or by the highest bidder. It shall be the responsibility of the plaintiff, or such other party of record who desires that the sale be approved and confirmed, to prepare and present to the court from the pleadings in the case, or from other sources, a description of the vessel for purpose of identification as an aid to the United States Coast Guard properly to record and index the vessel on its records, or to enable the vessel to be registered or numbered under the Illinois Boat Registration and Safety Act or such other state or federal statute as may be applicable. The description may include the name of the vessel, its official number, if any, its state identification number, if any, its dimensions, the name of the former owner, the ownership interest to be transferred, and the name and address of the purchaser who shall have been the successful bidder at the sale.
