More interesting from the site above is the trailer length limits, many of them 40 feet. The boat is 43', so the trailer is going to be upwards to 46-48 feet. Makes me wonder how sticky the officers will be on the length.

The Trooper actually measured the boat and found out that my Cat had a inch and a half overhang on each side on the gunnels and he had us go to the next exit and get a special ticket for over size.. Think he had a badge on his underwear also, Gungho!! However, I have pulled the same outfit back and forth to Nevada severial times..But Damm you at 12 feet!!

I have pulled several Skaters up to 32' to AZ and NV from Houston with no problem....The one going to FL I got a permit for, from what I have seen is going west you will have no problems....Going east you might get away with it but I would'nt take the chance

102" is the law on interstates. Enforcement is subjective. 106-109 might slip through... 12 ft??? 144" is probably going to be a little more than noticable, especially when you're wiping traffic control off the face of any construction jobs. Traffic control can prove to be a little hard on fiberglass.
