Haha Step it's all good.

I really hate the BMV. The hoops you have to go through to get things done. The trailers VIN number sticker has fallen off, go figure it's a 86. Well in Indiana they title EVERYTHING and since the VIN is gone and Mass does not title this size trailer I now have to get a court order as proof of owenership(Bill f sale doesn't work). If I had the title I could reattach the VIN on a stamped plate, but because I don't have a title nope.

So it's kind of illegal more bending the rules, but I have a metal stamp kit. I think I'm just going to stamp the vin, have them do the physical inspection, and hope it's good.

Before you start to stamp vin on the trailer can't you go to the m v and tell them it's home built and you want to title it? I don't know if you can do it now but I know you used to be able to do it

Home built works in MS, but then again, that's MS.

Personal trailers in NJ do not have titles. Only registrations. You still need a VIN number to register one, but if you buy one from someone all you need is a handmade bill of sale and the old registration. SO much easier than other states...

I'll make it work. I'll find some way because MJ is right it is a nice trailer. Drained all the gas about 45-47 gallons, took the lower unit off, striped all the wood off, and started cleaning the cuddy. Wish I have more time to work on it.

Questions

When I was taking the lower unit off. The shifting shaft got stuck two of three times because the shaft was really rusty. Some large rust flakes came off anything I can do?

Also the pic with the top stringer cut off was that normal from the factory. It was behind the fishing rod box on Both sides.

Looks like the bulkhead is notched for the rod box. I'd say it's hard to believe they'd cut it and not glass over it at the factory but after seeing what we've found in my transom project it really wouldn't surprise me.
