I found this site while looking for a cheaper way to register a utlilty trailer. Come to find out you can register your boat trailer or any other trailer for 5 years for $90 in the state of MAINE and its good in all the states. You can actually purchase a tag good up to 12 years. I have not talked to anyone who has done this but I do see a tone of trailers on the interstate that are Reg in Maine. See link below and please let me know what you think. Good idea or not. I currently pay $60 a year for boat trailer tag. http://www.mainetrailerregistrations.com/
GOD BLESS AMERICA.

I am thinking that registering it in Texas is probably cheaper than possibly a fraudulent registration and the ticket that might bring.

I used to live in Kansas. The law there only required you to tag and register your trailer if the trailer weighed 2000 lbs. or more. There are a ton of guys up there who register & tag there trailer needlessly.
When I bought my boat the bank wanted a title. Well they don't title em in Kansas so I was told to title the trailer. When I got the process completed and a title was issued a tag was also issued for the trailer. The bank got to possess the title. After the first year when the tag expired I never bought another tag even though I did still have to pay personal property tax on the entire rig each year.
Now that I live in TN I better find out what the requirements are.

Didn't think about insurance part but the trailer and boat still in my name so should effect it. The REG is more a tax thing then Insurance I would think but I would deff check with Insurance agent first.

If your going to participate in shady and possibly illegal activities, perhaps NOT posting it on the World Wide Web would be a good idea.

If you dont go out of state in TN you dont have to register it, but if you do , you have to register. Glad to see you finally made the move.

I agree with Mark and Doug that it probably isn't worth the potential for issues. I don't know why it would be an insurance problem, but I wouldn't want to have to explain it to a state trooper.
How do you deal with having a Texas license plate and Maine registration?

Support Texas???? Come on. I bet every person on here complains about how much Tax they pay on every level. I do support Texas with my high Property Tax and FUEL tax and about 15 other Tax. Support Texas. That's a bunch of [censored]. That's like saying Burn as much money as you can. Sorry. Not trying to get anything started but we are Taxed to death.
I sent the DMV of Maine an Email just to see if this is Legal or not. It appears that they Send you Maine Lic plate. Don't think it Illeagal at all.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
