Can Trailer VIN be Found for Trailer with Faded Sticker

Question

Question:

I have an older trailer and the sticker where the VIN number is completely white. Nothing is visible. How can I find out the information for the trailer? It belongs to a pontoon boat we purchased about 10 years ago. We purchased it from someone who had the boat and trailer sitting there for a while. The boat was manufactured in 1993.

What kind of info are you trying to find out? The VIN for your trailer should be on the bill of sale so if you know where that is you can use that. Otherwise your best bet to get specific info on your boat trailer would be to contact the manufacturer if you know who that is.

If you are looking for replacement parts for your trailer just let me know and I can see if we have anything that will be compatible.

Essentially, you can install a spare tire carrier anywhere it will fit. I recommend placing it on the tongue as far back from the coupler as possible without interfering with anything. This will push its weight as far back as possible on the trailer.…

If the main sticker on your boat trailer is too worn to read the VIN it's possible that the number is stamped elsewhere on the frame itself. Your best bet is to simply try and inspect the frame along the trailer, both outside and inside, to see…
