    Stratos trailer.id number

    Hi im new here, just picked up a 95 201 with a tanden axle trailer. The only number i can find on the trailer is only 5 digits. Indiana dmv says that number is not long enough. Just wondering if anyone here could shine some light on this. Thanks

    Those are the last 5 of the vin - stamped in the frame (I expect). There would be a fair-sized sticker on the frame rail near the front with the entire vin plus some other info. If the sticker is gone or unreadable, hopefully you got some paperwork that has it on there, like a registration. You should have gotten SOMETHING during your apparent purchase. A little more info as to where/how you came into possession might help.

    You're looking for a 17 digit string.

    Thanks, the sticker is not ledgable. Talked to stratos, they gave me the full vin but would not print another tag for it due to the fact that the trailer company is out of buisness. They did verify the entire number thou. Thanks again

    Get a company to stamp you out a plate with the numbers in it and screw/pop rivet it to the frame. The stickers are worthless if the boats are stored outdoors in the sun.

    I'm guessing he was talking to EZ loader. I had to do the same thing for my 98. Mine was made by Custom Trailer out of Tennessee for EZ loader, and I got the same story.

    I had the seller of this ebay auction engrave me a placard with the appropriate information which I riveted into place.

    I purchased a 2005 486sf this past May. Somehow I was directed to contact Ranger boats. They ended up sending me the manual for the boat.

    As mentioned have one stamped or get a graphics shop make one on 3m vinyl. I painted my trailer 4 years ago and I made the label in cad and converted to PDF and local graphics shop printed it on 3m vinyl.

    I believe the number they post on the Stratos web site puts you through to White River Marine which is/was basically the same people who worked on the Stratos builds. They have helped me in the past on a few things.
