Boat Purchase - Problem with title on the trailer

[wiperhunter2]

You got this on the right board because it's boat related. You are right, you technically don't need to license it but when I licensed the last boat I bought I went ahead and licensed the trailer, to get it in my name. When you have that many previous owners, it's not a bad idea to do that, just in case you sell it, it will make it easier. After the first year went by, I took off the plate and have not licensed it since. One thing you will have to do is get the proper papers at the DMV, then call your local sheriff or police and have them come out and look at the serial number on your trailer before you can license it. After you do that, you should not have a problem getting it licensed.
