Trailer Title and Registration

[BoyoBoyle]

I live in Pennsylvania.... first problem.

Ok Im buying a boat off this guy in ohio and hes giving me a trailer with it. Now, he made the trailer himself, so it's homemade. He has no title for it or registration. From what I here... If I want to title this in pennsylvania.... it's gonna be nearly impossible.

Im wondering what would be the best thing to do?

Can I register it in ohio, where it might be easier to do? Can I use a trailer in pennsylvania that is titled in ohio?

I'm not current on PA laws.I think it would be easier to title in OH and the transfer the title to you.

You can title it as a home made trailer - MV-1 and MV-426 forms in Pa

PA certainly can be strict about what they let roll down the road. Unlike NM where any dangerous pile o junk can tear away from its tow vehicle (or the TOW VEHICLE can die out) and destroy anything in its path. Probably a good thing. I just noticed that CAPT. AHAB is from Bucks county. Small world... My Parents in Law live in Pottstown...
