LW&F will NOT issue new boat numbers without the previous owners registration. There is a simple work around if you know somebody who lives in Mississippi. Mississippi will issue a new boat registration with just a hull number and notarized bill of sale. You would need to "sell" the boat to somebody you know in MS, let them get it registered, then "sell" it back to you. Now you have a registered boat and can get a new boat registration here in Louisiana.
Good luck.
