How big of a boat can I trailer?
I'm wondering how big of a boat I can conceivably trailer if I have the power to do so with my truck. I'm looking at cruisers and notice that once you get a beam greater than 8'-6" you typically are not trailering and getting a slip somewhere. YET, I'm finding boats on yachtworld.com that have a 10' beam that are pictured on a tri-axle trailer. I'm confused.
a beam of 8feet 6inches allows you to tow without a special permit in most places. These boats are considered "trailerable" for this reason. Other boats have wider beams and are still trailerable, but, in most cases you need a permit to do so. With that said, many boats are on trailers with a wode beam going to storage, etc without the proper permits. However, if you take it on a toll road, they will report you at the toll booths.
Without knowing what truck you have, you need to look at the manual and find the tow rating. You will hear different opnions from different people depending on their interest in the matter. The boat salesman will tell you you have no problems with towing your truck.
The towing is not the issue, it is the stopping that is the issue. Usually, 80% of the truck tow rating is recommended, Also, get good brakes in the trailer. They have suege brakies and electric disk brakes. If you are close to the tow rating, get a trailer with electric disk brakes on all axels and have the electric controller installed in the truck.
