Hey auto board,
I did the big bad thing and bought a boat/trailer/motor - but ran into a bunch of trouble trying to get my trailer registered (wasn't a title, but didn't actually need a title since you don't need for under 4K lbs). Turns out the VIN belonged to someone else and the guy I bought it from never transferred it over. Then he went and got a homemade trailer registration and was trying to pass it off on me. I'm trying to be legal and looking to apply for a bonded title. Turns out I need a VTR 125 form filled out to get an actual assessed value so they can tax me.
The trailer is a 16' tracker 1992 made by the tracker marine manufacturing co. I bought it for $300 on the bill of sale, but I actually had tracker send me a quote as to what it should be valued at... came back at $130. I can share with you or whatever is necessary?
Just hoping an actual insurance adjuster or dealer with a proper license number could help me out. I'm happy to reimburse/send photos of trailer or meet up in the area? I'm in College Station- I realize this is really trivial. Or maybe just communicate by email?
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!
