Question Trailer Registration issue

Hey guys,

Any help would be appreciated.

Recently bought a 240 sundeck - came with a 2 axle performance trailer

Living in Florida, I need the trailer to be registered and licensed if its empty weight is 2000 pounds or more.

problem is, I have no title for the trailer and all tags on the trailer are faded and not legible.

My question is - how would I go about finding the weight and getting a new title? Thanks

Awesome thanks for the reply man

is the empty weight just the trailer or the boat and the trailer?

Dumb question I know I just want to be sure 🤣

Try to register it with Haskell in Maine, they are very easy to deal with. I live in ny and I had an issue and I contacted Haskell in Maine and I did it over the phone and a fax machine and it is much cheaper to register it with them and you can pick different amount of years for the registration and no inspection required for the trailer

I bet a notarized bill of sale from the person you bought the trailer from should get you a title on the trailer.

If you know the name of the trailer manufacture, give them a call and ask if there is a plate they hide on the trailer with the numbers stamped in. Most will have a plate somewhere. Once you have the number your local police can verify and usually between the verification, notarized bill of sale the DMV will issue a title. It is a pain and can take some time.

I had the exact same problem so my insurance company recommended registering in Maine. I googled Maine trailer Registration and bingo it is legal in all 50 states and can be done on line and plates sent to you via mail. Good luck!
