Do you have to have a plate/ registration to pull a boat across TN to GA? Asking for a friend . I have a plate on my trailer because I pull it across NC to get to SC.

I'm pretty sure if the boat is registered in Tennessee you don't have to have a plate. I've pulled boats and jet skis through Georgia many times with no issues.

Score is 1 to 1 so far!
If it isn't required in the state where it is registered, it isn't required while towing in other states. But, if you don't have it, you may be stopped and hassled.
no state can legally require you to get a tag if the state you reside in doesnt require it. thats why both NC and GA have exemptions for out of state visitors. BUT, they can pull you over to verify ownership. itd be a good idea to carry the trailer papers with you.

If you are registered in TN carry proof of ownership and a copy of the TCA to show the cop TN doesn't require it. I remember a long time ago when I lived in SD they did not require insurance and my cousin slipped a clutch and ran into a store in doge city IA. The cop almost gave a ticket to him. I finally convinced him to call his sgt and he found out. Otherwise we would have had to make a separate trip to go to court to win.
