Give it a shot.
Several previous attempts to reach him have sunk, though. |

This old thread shows exactly what I (and I'm sure others) need in the way of trailer vin decal.
So, is this available today, and if so, from whom? Any help appreciated, thx. |

In defense of RamLin, they have had a turnover of office personnel and that may have contributed to the mixup.
The Feds have laws that are really strict (and ridiculous -- no surprise there) about issueing VIN labels. I'm sure that's what their hangup is. '93 is when RamLin was just acquiring the Correct Craft trailer division. I know that nowadays, the VIN numbers are all stamped on the brake actuator assembly. Are you sure you are looking for a VIN label, or just a CAPACITY label. There is a vast difference. The weight capacity of your trailer is the sum of the maximum load rating of the tires. Art |

Is it stamped under that non OEM plate that is attached to the back of your Bare Foot Boat?

If you are going to do that ....just buy Marty's decal and have the shop that's making the plate engrave/stamp it.... no overlay needed.
Those early 90's trailer VIN Decals faded FAST. If your trailer hasn't been repainted, there's a special place the VIN was also placed...... Shhhh, secret!

I would love a chrome decal and overlay. Thinking if I could get the chrome decal I would make an aluminum replica to attach to the trailer. The DMV told me that he could barely read mine and to get it replaced if I ever wanted to sell it.

I am using one of Marty's Trailer VIN Decals, and I am having a local shop make up a clear overlay. The overly fills the blanks with proper info and will act as a protective barrier over the chrome decal.
The maker of the overlay wanted to know if anyone else wanted some of these overlays made up..... If so, send me a PM with your specific trailer info. I don't have a cost yet, he was going to offer a group discount but I can't imagine a lot of folks wanting this....if you do, let me know............ The chrome decal is awesome but REALLY difficult to fill in; I think this is a great way to fill it in individually and permanently (as long a a chrome VIN decal can give ya' anyway). |

I would guess that GVWR is right around 5k lbs for the 6-lug CC/Ramlins. All of the running gear (wheels/tires/axles/etc) are rated for that. |

The GVWR is used by some states to determine the need for a title, and or the need for annual inspections of the trailer. In MA any trailer with a GVWR of 3000 LBs or more requires a title, and must have an annual safety inspection.

Marty, you don't have a Ram-Lin, nor are you trying to purchase anything so I can see why they wouldn't waste resources on your request. Second, read the brochure. That trailer is rated to carry 3600#, not counting the trailer weight. Your boat weighs 2340# dry.
GVWR seems like a strange number to be on a trailer but by definition I suppose it should be 3600 + 1060 for you. |

OK--- As Zach says-- Ramlin Trailers can be a *#@! to deal with. Last year I E-mailed them with the thoughts on getting a Trailer VIN Decal. They wanted my info on the trailer-- I gave it to them. I then got 2 or 3 E-mails that were forwarded to different areas. Finally an E-mail that said- they would print me a decal up and notify me when it was done. I'd E-mail them back about every 6 weeks. They'd say that my info was on file and they'd get to it when they could. Another 6 weeks go by- I E-mail them again. I asked this time could I just buy some blank decals. They said they'd check and let me know. Another 6 weeks go by- I E-mail again- they finally say they can't sell any blank decals and they can't print me one up either.
So I guess I'll just put one of these on the 93-  Question---- 93 SN Boat weight 3600 lbs Trailer weight 1060 lbs BFN 3585 lbs 1075 lbs Add these two together for the GVWR amount? And then tires- 225-75-15 |
