If you Google it you do not find much... One of the message boards has the lollowing "Have you found a VIN # anywhere? The VIN may have a date encoded in there. On my trailer the VIN is on a plate up near the tongue. The last two digits are 84 which I am assuming means it is an '84 model (same as my boat)" Then in other posts, it says someone thinks they have relocated to Santa Fe, Texas. Another says they went out of business in the early 90's. Another says they moved to Florida. If you do not find any number I wonder if it would be appropriate to use a set of stamps, grind an area smooth, punch in the number and repaint. The inspector would have no trouble finding that number... The stamps are sold as sets. and in various sizes (height of letters) 1/8, 1/4" etc. I quickly found a 1/4" combo set at Harbour Freight PN: 90125-2VGA $9.99 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?function=Search Happy Stamping Bill P.s. you do have a bill of sale right?

I recently purchased a 1977 M-17 and Shoreline trailer in September from a fellow in Virginia. Pennsylvania (my home state) will not give me a registration because the VIN plate is missing. Hence, I can't prove that the trailer is the same as the one for which the VIN number is shown on the title. Virginia DMV won't talk to me because I am not a resident of Virginia. The previous owner won't talk to me because he has his money. Does anyone know if the VIN number is perhaps stamped somewhere on the frame so that an inspection mechanic can verify that the VIN number on the title and the VIN number on the trailer match. Thanks for any information or suggestions.
