So I go to sell my boat on FB marketplace and get an overwhelming response. I’m quite surprised at how many are interested. I choose the first responder who promises to be here the next afternoon with cash. I hold the boat and trailer for him, as promised. He showed up as promised, but we can’t find a serial number on the trailer for the bill of sale. He gets a little frustrated, and I try to tell him that I’ve owned the boat some 8 years now, and have had it registered 7 times with no serial number without any problem. He says Pike county will NOT give him a tag without a serial numbered bill of sale for the trailer. I take my screwdriver and peel the paint off the tongue of the trailer, and there above the manufacturers information, are four LARGE digits that sat 4977. I tell him that THAT will work as the serial number, but he disagrees, saying it should be at least 16 digits. I go an extra step and actually call my local Sheriffs office that proceeds to inform me that I,would have to take the trailer to an inspection station to have it inspected, the fabricate a data plate to fasten to the trailer.
I’m going one more step this morning, and calling the Sheriff out her for a “serial number” verification. He will have a form that I will fill out, then he will sign as a serialized trailer. I should jack the price up!
