Message: <blockquote data-quote="baltimus" data-source="post: 299984" data-attributes="member: 10260">Sorry for the slight delay. I went into hibernation for a couple of months. I finally found a reasonable trailer on craigslist (GREAT place to find project boats!) and with the trailer comes more problems. The trailer came with no title but I did get a bill of sale. As for the boat title, in Indiana any boat older than 1986 does not need a title, just a bill of sale, according to the BMV. Big relief because it would be extremely difficult to track down the original owner. The trailer does need to be titled; however, if you claim it as "homemade" you can get a new VIN for it. That is the route I believe I will be taking, a lot less time and hassle. With not a lot of time left before the pike spawn my main focus is getting everything legal and on the water. I've bitterly accepted that due to financial constraints and a lack of extra time, this will be an ongoing project. What better way to find out exactly what you want though.I will add more photos of the old wood as well as the progress once I get them and reduce the size of them.</blockquote>
