Question

Do you need to have a boat trailer inspected in PA?

Answer 1

The trailer does not need to be inspected, but does need to be registered.  That is, if it is a commercialy manufactured titled boat trailer.

In other words, If you have a trailer with a title, you are all set, just register and pay for the plate and registrtion.

If you made it yourself, you need to get it insured and titled.

Answer 2

If it has brakes yes

Answer 3

To answer your question truthfully , yes you are SUPPOSED TO have it inspected yearly just like a car/truck. But the police usually don't bother checking for it. So you can bypass that pretty much. I know here in Louisiana you are suppose to have it inspected yearly but I don't bother with it. And it doesn't matter wether or not the trailer has brakes or not.
