I just sold my 28 ft. pontoon. The new owners love it!

Why did you sell it? I thought you loved it.

It is hard to tow unless borrowed somebody's truck. My 1990 Mercury
stationwagon sank to the ground wheen we lowered the tongue jack. but
the main problem was the legality of it. The toon and trailer were
origionally from Kentucky, and little did i realize it but Ky. doesn't
issue trailer titles. So.... to be legal about it, I would have to
send an app. to Illinois state and for the $100.00 fee, they would
issue me a 'temporary VIN". Then I'd have to make an apointment in
Bellville IL. (80 mi. away) and take the trailer there to have it
inspected. Once it passed THEN i would have to pay not only for the
inspection fee, but also for title transfer and I would be issued a
'home-built) title. A big $300.00 hassle and a day of dragging the
trailer 3/4 of the way across the state. And this isn't counting
getting the pontoon registered in my name for another $90.00 transfer
fee. etc. etc. besides, in the two years I had it, it was taken out
twice. Just didn't have the time for it.
