FWIW...
I bought a new boat in 2013. It was a 21' Yamaha 212X. It has a dual axle Shorlandr trailer that weighs ~820lbs. unloaded. The dealership did all the registering and paperwork and I've never gotten any kind of registration reminder from the state for the trailer. Only the boat. I called the DMV in March and the lady said if it were her she wouldn't worry about the trailer until I got a ticket because I probably was legal. I get that could turn out to be some expensive advice, but I've been taking my chances since and probably will continue to do so. I haven't gone to Willard though (and maybe now I won't, at least in my boat).
I'd wish they'd just say anything over one axle needs registration regardless of weight, but that would be too easy to understand. [crazy]
