Utah's boat and trailer laws are really different from surrounding states. You don't have to license trailer unless they are multi axle and it has only been in the last 15 years or so that we were issued titles. I was trailering my rig, single axle, with 4 or 5 other guys dragging their rigs, to a tournament in Arizona. We got stopped by a AZ trooper and he began to write us all up for no tags and registration on the boats and trailers. We told him that Utah did not require tags on the trailers and did not issue us titles on the boats. He could not believe it and called his dispatch to confirm. After about 20 minutes, he tore all the tickets up and let us all go, shaking his head in disbelief. After that we all carried certificates from DMV stating that we were not required to have tags on the trailers and the only license needed was the boat registration. Different strokes for different folks. I have never put tags on my trailers as they have always been single axle and have never had any difficulty with insurance.
