Vin number on a trailer

[brian3127]

Me and my son bought a 1986 sea ray 270 Sundancer with dual Mercruiser 260's this weekend. The owners owned the boat for 27 years. They lost the paper work on the trailer. I have the signed title for the boat. The trailer has been painted. So I cant find the vin number on it. Is it stamped on the trailer or on a sticker. how would I get this registered in my name in MI.

Is the trailer currently registered?

 

[brian3127]

They never registered it. They never drove it down the road. The trailer was used to move the boat to the water then back to the storage building.

Haven't you answered your own question? "So I cant find the vin number on it."

Fortunately there is usually a procedure to register a trailer without a VIN as a "homemade" trailer. You just have to find out what that is in your state.

vin would have been on a sticker on the trailer.

Have to get “home made” trailer registration

I have two trailers registered as homemade.
It was no big deal at my rmv but they may very from state to state. They asked for materials recipes and I just said they were made from stuff laying around. At the end of the day all they really want is your money.
