Worth licensing a trailer to sell cheap boat?
Submitted by K_willo on Tue, 2013-09-03 22:16
Hi all,
Had the boat trailer of my 5m JMT bream boat stolen off the verge a few months ago and managed to get it recovered by the police (longgggg story).
Its way out of rego and as I'm looking to offload the boat at a pretty low price my question is, is it worth getting the trailer licensed?
The boat itself isnt in a state to be driven immediately and would probably serve as someones project.
Cheers for any suggestions.

if it will pass the pits
without spending any money on it. it might make it more appealing to someone buying the boat if they can tow it
straight away without any dramas.

as keg said-making it easy
as keg said-making it easy for a buyer is always good.
And if it cant be towed away its not easy.
When I buy something I like to take it with me, so theres no question about anything being removed or thrashed after you inspected it.
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

The trailer is in decent
The trailer is in decent shape but needs lights and rewriting etc etc plus it's an absolute pain to leave the boat somewhere to do the work and take over the pits. I was hoping someone would just get a moving permit for it and licence it at a latter date. We shall see.
Thanks for the replies guys.

Lightboard
If lights are the only thing stopping licence, then why not see if you can just get a second hand Lightboard off Gumtree, as keg said, if you can make it more appealing it'll sell faster.
