DMV made me do the same thing, then they ask for the VIN. i direct them to the back of the boat, they say, no the VIN for the trailer. i told them its on the front on a sticker. its un-readable they say and usually makers will stamp it on the trailer. DMV recommends to take the boat to the CHP so they can go over the trailer and find the VIN. i told them i never heard of a VIN on a trailer just serial number. well we get to the CHP after a 30 min. drive and they are closed for the weekend. my wife is pissed to say the least, she calls DMV and speaks to the lady and tells her for making us go to CHP she should just sign the reg form. DMV says they cant do that, my lady says she wants to talk to a supervisor. it only got worse from there.when i got home I looked up on this forum and found answers but am hoping i can get this done. the weird thing is DMV registered the boat but not the trailer and i have the pink slip for the boat in my hands. not sure if anyone else out there knows but CA DMV parking lots are the worst, especially on a weekend!!!thanks all for the input and knew I was not the only one who has dealt with out of state registration hassles. the smog one is funny though!

good to hear all his updates are going well. will keep him in prayers!

eventually is the padding going to be available for all models or just the sabre? will it cover the whole deck or just the front area of the deck bow area?

I just removed my old motor guide and installed a terrova, the over hang is nuts! i did not want to drill any extra holes so I bought a piece of marine starboard, cut to fit, this allowed me to use the 4 existing motor guide holes to mount the starboard to the boat, then used 4 bolts to mount the Terrova to the starboard, if i would have gotten a longer piece of starboard i could have used all 6 Terrova holes.will take pictures later and post them.

here is a link to basically what i did, the only difference is mine only cost $20 and is very sturdy. i had the removable plate for the Terrova but is short just like the Terrova, the longer one for the Fortexx might work but it does not show the width as the Terrova is a little wider, if you want a more solid mount for the 101 I would go with what they did in the link.http://texasfishingforum….tch_from_Maxxum_to_Terro

[socalpIII]

I want to thank Donna and everyone at Bass Cat for helping in getting my Trailer registered!!! I finally got my boat back after 2 weeks of it being in the CHP after they felt comfortable with the information that was given to them. now i get to take it out and slay.

Awesome stuff right there!! down here in San Diego the big bite is just starting to kick off!! lots of small fish from 1 -3lbs shallow with the bigger a bit deeper.

the problem is here in California they make you remove the plug to make sure your bilge/livewell is dry before you get on the water and when you leave. some lakes even make you wipe dry the boat, live well and motor to make sure you are not spreading the quagga mussels. guys out here are even getting turned away from lakes if they see a few drops. beleieve me it has happened so if you drive 1 or 2 hours to your favorite lake and get turned down during the inspection.
