If I purchase a boat from someone, what all do I need to have on hand? I have printed off a "bill of sale" document from the AB gov't website. Do I need to get a new plate for the trailer before I can tow it home, or can I do that after the fact? Looking online, it seems like I need a completed bill of sale before I can register the trailer in my name. So do I buy the boat, then leave it there, go get the plate and then come back again to pick it up?

The boat is currently out on a guy's farm and we're going to look on Sunday. If we like it, I'd like to be able to just take it home, but not sure what all the logistics are.

Thank you very much, in advance, for any info!!

You can save a lot of hassle by making out a seperate bill of sale for the trailer. If not make sure the trailer vin number is on the bill of sale.
