[QUOTE="bigcity, post: 502340, member: 12916"] In Ohio we don't have titles for trailers(at least not for 16' and less). If you bought it new it will come with a COO, but still not get a title just plates and a registration. If you buy it used without a title you fill out an "Affidavit of ownership" and you get plates and a registration, still no title. I don't know about the homemade route as I've never done it. I have registered new trailers from Indiana and Ohio and used from Ohio/KY. No problems. As far as registering old boats(without titles or modern ser. #'s) or any that doesn't have a title or registration, those have to be inspected at a Div. Of Watercraft office. They will make sure it's not stolen, issue a new Ohio hull ID #(you get an actual #plate that you have to attach to the boat) and a registration. We also don't title boats under 14' in Ohio. I went thru all this with a jonboat and a 1959 Aerocraft FP12. Even though I had a KY title for the FP, Ohio said nope. To that end, I understand states wanting to title and make sure the trailer/boat/motor... aren't stolen. But what happens when you're the rightful owner and you simply move to another state. Or you inherit a boat with no title. Are you just SOL in those states? Seems a pretty sh!tty stance from the state. Jeff [/QUOTE]
