Question - what does it mean when a title "wasn't transfered"

[onefishnfool]

I think I know that guy Joe you used in your analogy Erad.
To date I have never had a problem titling a trailer as long as the signature on the back matches the name on the front and I don't recall ever furnishing a bill of sale. This may not be the case on a larger trailer with a higher sales value, I bought new
As far as a boat, which is not the case here, DNR asks for a bill of sale almost always.
As Erad said if it sounds fishy....

Thanks for the advice. Guy bought the boat 3 months ago, never put it in the water. Fixed an axle on the trailer. And is now selling for $500 more than the last owner listed a few months ago. I might go take a look, but something doesn't seem right.
Cheers,
