Okay, so maybe someone can help with this as I know trailer registration is hell in Pennsylvania.
I bought my boat and trailer as a combo last fall and the boat registration went great, but the trailer is a bit of a problem. First thing it is a harbor freight kit, several years old at this point. There is some rust, but nothing I couldn't repair with a wheel and paint. The bearings probably need servicing and new dust caps. The real problem is this, he lost the certificate of origin during a move last year and after an hour of digging through paperwork the day I bought it we agreed he could just send it when he found it sometime that week. Well he never found it, so I have no proof of ownership outside of a bill of sale on request. My question is what my options are with only a bill of sale for a used kit trailer?
I have an old plate for it that he gave me which is no longer current, so I don't want to keep using that on the chance something happens. Anyone have suggestions or should I just go see a notary?
