I think you'll find that you don't need a title for a boat that

The trailer would be another story. I've been told that the
easiest
way to rectify the "no title" trailer is to register it as a
homemade
trailer. But you would have to either do some significant work on
the
trailer in order to justify the "homemade" classification, or you'd
have to live knowing that you lied about that :/ (probably best to
visit the registration department and find out for certain what
your
options are)

I have spent the good part of the morning trying to reach the DMV and
DNR on the phone, with no luck. I get either busy signals, or very
polite women who do not know anything and refer me to other, busy,
numbers.

It seems that I will need title and registration for the trailer, and
registration and possibly title for the boat itself. The boat should
not be a big problem.

The trailer will be more work. I was able to locate the seller of the
boat and she is willing to sign the necessary paperwork.

It looks like into this $120 boat, I will have to put $500 worth of
legal efforts and wasted time, PLUS FEES.

What the hell did you expect? It's a boat. :)

If registartion of the trailer proves to be too painful or expensive,
I will probably just cut it in pieces with an angle grinder and throw
away. The boat is small enough that I can fit it into my truck's bed.

Tell the DMV that it is a home built trailer

That's an interesting thought. I can surely remove the nameplate. What
would be the implications? Let's say that I am stopped by police for
some unrelated reason, would I get in trouble if they find out that
the registration is false?

How would they find out unless you told them?
