And in Wisconsin, to the North, they aren't even registered or titled.
Furthermore, the only recourse the towing company would have against you
is
to obtain title to the trailer and boat in lieu of storage and towing
fees.
Therefore, it may be that the only reason the police are even bothering
you
is to give notice that the next step unless you wish to pursue the issue
is
to let the towing company proceed. You might call the towing company,
tell
them your story and offer to send them a quit claim to any ownership you
might have in the trailer/boat. It might make it easier for them to
acquire
title. Be sure however to make it clear that you aren't acknowledging
that
you even have any ownership interest anymore.

While the "not a motor vehicle" argument needs to be researched.... in NH
title to said towed vehicle is far from only recourse.

After you sold it, was the trailer ever registered legally by the new
owner?

Michigan now makes the seller of stuff (car, boat, bike, etc) retain
proof of sale for 18 months -OR- they must accompany the buyer to
Secretary of State to make sure the ownership is transferred. That is
done just for this abandonment reason; the state wants to nail anyone
that dumps a vehicle.. But in your case: 3 years later, yikes. Guess
I should plan on saving my proof of sale receipts a little longer.
