When I got my first boat, a Hobie 16, it had a trailer that hadn't been registered for several years. We were faced with paying several years of back taxes, because the owner wasn't immediately accessible, as I purchased it off a consignment lot. We could have had him sign an affidavit that he hadn't used it on public roads, but that would have added a couple more weeks to being able to legally drive the darn thing! The loophole we found was to declare it a "home made" trailer. In our case, the licensing folks were nice enough to let us do this, even though suppose it's not the completely honest way of doing it.
