Is it legal to make your own boat trailer?
I live in Michigan, and have a 13 foot aluminum fishing boat, but no trailer. Im not against buying one, but I am curious to know, it is legal to make one? If so, is there a weight requirmet? Could it be built from wood? What steps do I have to take in order to make it street legal, (lights licensing, etc)
Thanks!!
Yes it is legal to make one. When you register it, it must be registered under a homemade trailor though. There is no law against making you own boat trailor. Just make sure you do it right! 
Make sure you have directionals on it, brake lights, tail lights, and marker lights, and make sure they all work. Yes there can be wood on it as long as it is build on a metal frame, not all just wood. There is no weight requirement, just make sure it fits your boat correctly, and make sure the trailor is strong enough for your boat. It also must have a serial number on its tongue because it must have one for the DMV to be able to register it.
