permits vary state to state but are usually around $40.00 - annual permits up to 12' are available once you get it home ($132.00 for ohio). call each state's DOT permit division to avoid fees tacked on by third parties.
some states require the "wide load" placard whereas others require the "oversize load" placard. most signs have either on each side.

I towed my father's Wellcraft back from CT. It was 9'10" wide and was about 13'3" tall. We didn't get permits, but I wish I would have - it was nerveracking especially when we blew a tire. Luckily we were right by a truck stop and ducked in there but had we been out on the road and had to change it we certainly would have attracted some unwanted attention.

I've gotten two overwidth tickets over the years. They are not cheap! And the cops seem to have no sense of humor about it. I have finally learned my lesson and always get a permit, even for short halls.
