In CT they don't have titles for trailers but they do a VIN verification. Of course, the VIN is often printed on a sticker which has worn off many years before. Get a set of metal letter and number stamps and stamp the VIN on the trailer near the sticker or where the sticker was.

That would be a great Idea if I had a number!! Here in MA most trailers come with the boat and one way or another the title has got lost along the line, so we just say they are home made and under 2000# and we good to go.

But unless the cops are blind there is no way I can drive by them and they not know my boat is over 3000#

So I am not sure how they are going to approach this?? I am not goingn to be alone in this matter thats for sure!!

Why is a boat trailer considered a "commercial" trailer? in fl trailers don't always have a title, some have a MSO (Manufactors statement of origin) & we are required to have tags. this sounds like a way for the state to raise revenue.........

MJ, welcome to my world buddy. I've got two trailers. One has no title nor registration (for the V...) and the other has title but no registration because the brakes have to be functioning to get the registration sticker for the license plate.

Money, money, money...
