Thanks for your assuring post. Plan to do this myself. Being in Alberta
though I can say punt to the PST. Plan on buying a new early into next
year.

Did you get trailer plates before you left? How did you handle the
trailer license?

I just towed the boat/trailer back without plates. I still had the
plates at home from my Sandpiper 565 sailboat trailer that I had sold from
the month before, so I attached them as soon as I got back to Halifax.
The fun came getting the trailer legal in Canada... needed two
inspections...
...the first at Canadian Tire to make sure the trailer complied with our
standards (federal) and then a provincial safety check.
The only odd thing was that Tom's home state handles light duty trailers
differently so I didn't have the usual vehicle permit type of documentation
to present to the Nova Scotia Registry of Motor Vehicles. All worked out in
the end...good think I'm retired with lots of time to run around. :-)
