Made a 520-mile round trip yesterday to OR coast and brought home a mid 50's Tee Nee boat trailer. Bucket list item for project. :IBCOOL: Don't know how to pin down exact year as no records are available. Go by pictures of old advertisements to guess. He had steering parts for boat I should have haggled on, but tools were limited. Sounds like we may work it out anyway. Trailer in is amazing shape for 70 years old. Shot a little WD40 on threads and a few hours later loosen with wrench and finish with fingers. When does that happen? 1963 CA license plate cleaned up like new. Last renewal mid 90's. Got a few hits on motors too. I do have to figure out the lost title angle on the trailer. |

Search around the lake towns in Montana. Ive seen some cool old motors on Facebook marketplace. |

Week ago, went to WSP for an 'ownership in question' trailer inspection with bill of sale, certified form from DOL, and the CA plate. CA plate turned out to be the key. Vin# didn't provide any help identifying but will remain as original vin. CA plate showed last registered in 2002, not stolen, and was titled as a 1956 Tee Nee boat trailer. That was a bonus. Took that paperwork to the Auditors office to complete all necessary paperwork and licensing. Came out a little poorer. No collector plates available for boat trailers, so got a plate with a yellow intermittent use sticker. One time purchase as long as I own it. With inspection and all associated fees was almost as much as I paid for boat/trailer combined and still have to wait three years for a title. I'll be picking up a 1958 Mark 58 Super Thunderbolt in next couple of weeks. Might be a little overkill. Still looking for any on my original list. |

Whoa! 3 years for a title! What's the reasoning on that? I made a utility trailer out of an old pop up tent and had to re title it... Took a few weeks... |

No available title on an existing titled trailer. In case someone(dead) contests it? Most of all to make money. 1963 plate, 24 years since last licensed and the back story, I was comfortable to proceed with restoration. You have to buy a Tee Nee where you find it. Licensed and registered for the road now. $200 trailer purchase, $377.40 for the inspection/paperwork. Bought a canoe several years ago on a WA bill of sale, register it wait 3yr, but didn't bother with getting title after 3 years. Required registration # to use it in WY. Sold it and OR buyer didn't even want bill of sale. Every state is different. TX requires title on an outboard motor. |
