Inspection for the trailer?

[Keith Budurka]

I'm confused.... I have a 1999 Nitro NX-882.

It's pretty much a factory model. No major add-ons, etc.

It has a 150 Merc (XR6) on it.



Question is, my trailer has an inspection sticker on it. At first, I thought this normal, but I've recently found out that at least two of my friends with similar size boats (not Nitro, one's a Triton, the other I'm unsure of, but still an 18' with 150 motor), do not have inspections.



I live in Pennsylvania.



Anyone out there know anything about why this might be different for the NX-882 vs the others?

Wow Keith, I've never heard of that. I live in NH and we have to register our boats and trailers seperately, but I've never hear of a trailer inspection.



Does your trailer have a breaking system and maybe the others don't? Maybe the breaks require inspection.



Post back and let us know what you find out.

I live in Vermont and we have to register and inspect all trailers - boat, camper and utility.

In NY we have to have all trailers both registered and inspected. However, most authorities only look for the small registration sticker on the plate. I often forget to get it inspected. As long as all the lights work and registration is current, I never get hassled. I do not know about PA though.

Keith,



I live in PA as well and Spanky is correct. Registration only.
