not so much a question as it is just me venting. bought my boat and trailer 2 years ago from a guy in Ohio (I'm in PA). Ohio does issue a title with the trailer. this trailer was custom built in 1986 (still in great shape). the PO signed the bill of sale and gave me the original paperwork that includes the VIN and all weights (shipping weight (1500lbs), GVWR (8000lbs), and capacity (9984lbs)). i went to a notary when i first bought it and got the boat transferred but he said he could not transfer it without a title. waited until a few months ago to follow up (only use it twice a year) and checked with a different notary who said they could transfer it but need the PO there cause he signed the bill of sale but did not get it notarized. they also said they need the trailer there. so i contact the PO and he agrees to meet me there but can't do it for 2 weeks. i called the notary again today to verify they need the trailer and they tell me they need it to see the VIN tag. i tell them there is no VIN tag and no numbers anywhere on the trailer. they then tell me they cannot transfer it then. so i call AAA and get more info and they tell me to call PA DOT. called them and they tell me i need a form MV41 and have to take it to a PA enhanced inspection station and have to have a police officer sign off on the VIN (probably to verify it isn't stolen). not sure what all the enhanced inspection involves (PA DOT said they just need to verify the weights for the state to put on the new title and the new trailer tag). my trailer is a tri-axle but only has brakes on 2 of the axles. my understanding is that in PA all axles are required to have brakes? now i'm concerned this will be an issue. ugh....remind me to never buy another trailer from Ohio. hope the enhanced inspection doesn't flag the
