need help from NY boaters

[Aquaman]

I'll try to make a short story long.

I live in NC. A few months ago I bought a 19' Chaparral on a "homemade" galvanized trailer from a seller in NY. While not actually homemade, it's a rebuilt EZ Loader. By rebuilt I mean new winch, brake coupler, rollers, LED lights, tires and rims, etc. It is NY registered as "homemade"

I've titled and registered the boat with no problems. The trailer is my problem.

In NC trailers are titled and registered. It appears as per seller and NY DMV website that trailers <1000# are registered "transferable" only..

I have in my possesion the NY registration signed over by the seller. I have to fill out a DMV title request form but can't find the s/n on the trailer. Can some tell me which set of #'s on the registration are the actual s/n's?

The reg reads:
LTR
AL93528
2004 HOMEMAD TRANSFERABLE
LTRL GY NYA518867
1500 VTD4029 DEC 05 2005

I know AL93528 is the plate #...he's allowed me to use it until I have things sorted out down here. So, is the s/n the NYA# or the VTD #?

I assume it's the NYA# but you know what happens when you assume....especially when DMV is involved

Ayuh,........

You're Right,........ I just went out,+ Checked several of My Homemade Trailer Regs......

It's the NYA# that is the # assigned by NYstate......
Or the Replacement VIN.....

Just a thought...I do not promote things like this but state to state transfers can be a pain in the as... I live on the border of New Jersey and Pa, this problem does occure often. The solution this yankee came up with is remove all numbers and grind all plates off. Go to the DMV and tell them you bought it at Garage sale.....in Pa that is a legal defence! I know that this sounds shady but I have a buddy who bought a really nice Load Rite 3 years ago and has spent hundreds of dollers on a loop hole that is preventing him from legally registering it!....I have done it before and it sometimes just save the tax payers and you a ton of money and agg LOL Hey lets face it it's just a boat trailer!
