No matter what the price it's not worth it if you can't title and register it legally.

Had a new 13 foot whaler trailer donated to me this spring (no paperwork), which had only been used to move the boat to the yard to crane it on board a 60 footer. A friend ended up with it and I converted it to a yak trailer and had no issue registering it has homemade, in fact when I tried to register it with a BOS from my friend, they told me to get out of line and write homemade on the next pass thru and not submit any BOS. This was for a MA registration and transfer of my center console plate.
