That only would work if the state titles the trailer in the first place. not all states title trailers. Register, yes. title, no. [links]

If the PO registered it in his name and has a Ca PTO plate, all you'll need is a bill of sale from him along with the VIN. DMV has the "paperless" trail in their computer.
In CA, when one transfer ownership on a CA trailer, DMV give an option whether or not the new owner wants a "pink" slip which is about $15 extra fee, otherwise the trailer is registered to the new owner w/o a title but DMV does issue the new owner the registration paperwork to the new owner.

Anytime there’s a change to a vehicle or vessel’s registered owner or lienholder, that change needs to be updated in DMV’s records within 10 days and the California Certificate of Title needs to be transferred to the new owner.

To prove vehicle ownership, it’s important to have a valid, up-to-date, accurate California Certificate of Title. Here’s how you can transfer and change a title.
In Pennsylvania, boat trailers are considered separate vehicles and require their own license plates, titles and registrations. The process for titling boat trailers is similar to that of titling cars in the state, and involves a trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). As with all Pennsylvania vehicle titles, an authorized representative of the state, which can include DMV employees, car dealers and notary publics, must fill out the MV-1 "Application for Certificate of Title" form.
Find the title of the vehicle. If you are purchasing the trailer used, you must have the seller of the trailer fill in their information on the back of the title. A notary public should witness the transfer of the title prior to going to the DMV. Take this title to the DMV and the clerk will issue you a new title in your name. If you are purchasing the trailer new, the dealer should take care of this step. [links]
Get proof of insurance. You must have Pennsylvania insurance for your boat trailer in order to qualify for titling. New residents of the state should transfer their insurance. Take proof of insurance with you to the DMV.

Vessel registration becomes invalid when a boat/vessel is:
