Boat Trailer Bill Of Sale

First - Call your DMV before you buy to be sure what paperwork they require.
You most likely will want a good Boat Trailer Bill Of Sale if you don't want problems later on or if the time comes that you want to re-sell it.

This form of receipt should clearly state the details of the trailer that you are buying. Do not use a sales slip or receipt without all of the proper information included.

If you sell it you should use a similar form to make sure that both parties understand the deal so that there won't be any issues later on.

The Boat Trailer Bill of Sale should mention year built, color, make, model, number, body style, VIN, length, width, number of axles, and GVWR .

The states aren't unified on trailer registration and title requirements.Some need a title as well as bill of sale and the rules vary as far as weight is concerned.

If the GVWR is under a certain weight in some states you do not need a title but in others you do. Then there is age.

If it is older in some cases it doesn't need a title. In some states you can register a trailer as homemade if in fact it is made from parts and that doesn't need a title.

Here is a nice Champion Boat Trailer.

Any way, the thing here is that you have to understand your title requirements for your state before you pay cash for something that will become a real nightmare in the end.

So, again, call the DMV first before you buy.
