Hello,

I'm thinking about buying this trailer for my 12 foot jon boat: https://baltimore.craigslist.org/boa/4906677065.html

I got off the phone with a notary and they said I won't have to get a title for if it is older than 1997.

How can I tell how old it is?

Also, what do you guys think of this trailer?
 
Google "Magic Tilt Trailer"
See if that gives you any info. Other than that I'm not sure.
For $100 I'd buy it. A little clean up and fresh paint and you would have a nice trailer.
 
After rereading the CL ad that trailer would be very big for a 12' aluminum boat. Not having enough weight on a trailer can lead to a very bouncy, harsh ride. You might have to remove leafs from the spring pack but if in the future you want a bigger boat you can put the leafs back in and good to go.
Tube frame trailers have to be checked very closely for rust damage.
