I've got the little 12 ft Mirrocraft boat that sits on a small trailer and also an 8 ft utility trailer I picked up a while back. Neither trailer had plates, but several people told me all you need in Florida is a bill of sale, since they're registered but not titled. OK, I believed them.
When I titled the 12 ft, the 16 ft and trailer, all was well and I had the right paperwork, but they balked at plates for the 2 little trailers, since all I had were the bills of sale.
Today I tried again and made a serious effort, since I want to sell the small boat and start using the utility trailer. Neither has a read-able spec plate. Not a chance. I need the old registration. The people I bought them from told me I just needed the bill of sale, and a couple of neighbors agreed with that. They were wrong, and being new to the state, I had no idea.
I have no idea how to get in touch with those people now and they don't have registration anyway, so what can I do ?? Surely there must be a work-around ?? I'm willing to be some creative at this point.
