Trailer Registration

[Bad Habit]

 Is there anyone from New York that registers their boat trailer in Maine? I was told it is perfectly legal if it is under 7000 lb but not sure.

It’s against NYS vehicle and traffic laws. Your taking a chance but I have friends that have been doing it for years.

What is the benefit to registering out of state?

$$$$. I don't do it either but know many who do

  Maine registration would cost about $20 dollars a year up to 12 years with no yearly inspection. The no inspection is the part that I would like. That's the big PITA. That being said I did find an article that does say it is illegal.  https://www.adirondackdailyenterprise.com/opinion/columns/safety-on-the-roads-by-dave-werner/2014/03/registration-of-trailers-in-another-state-illegal/

I've never had a trailer inspected in my life and have never had any issues or even been asked about it before.
