Trailering a 36' Concept.
 
I am planning on getting a 36' Concept in the next few months and I wanted to know how much of a pita is it to trailer such a large boat? Do you guys store your boats in closed door warehouses or open storage? The closet drop location to me would be Harbor Town Marina since I am in Broward.

You should be able to tow a 3 foot long boat with just about any 50cc scooter you can get you hands on. :D
36' is 36 feet
36" is 3 feet

Is this your first boat? That's a lot of boat to jump into right off the bat.

Towing a boat less than/around 40' long is not that bad. Getting bigger than that starts to really get you into situations where turning/navigating becomes troublesome.

Sorry about the typo and yes this will be my first boat. I know it's a lot of boat but I have a friend with a 07 37' Contender and that thing handle the ocean well. Plus it's a great size for the weekend parties on Key Biscayne. I'm not a fan of fishing so this will strictly be a go fast party boat.

I cant speak for the length but it's only 8'wide and a light boat at maybe 8000-8500# on the trailer so I dont think it woul be hard to trailer. A 3/4 ton should pull it fine, I am real impressed with the Concept's construction and ride, love mine!

Thanks Pete for the input. I have also been reading a lot the Concept's construction and I am impressed. Now, I have to decide on the storage options.

Mine on the trailer weighs 9200#s But it has twin 275 Verados. As long as your trailer is set up for the boat and your hitch height is correct it tows as easily as my Tige 24v ski boat. Just need a wider turning radius. Great boats for the $

yep, and they must be doing soething right, still building boats and coming up with new models. Same cant be said for many other mfg's.

I read that this hull should be able to support up to 900hp. I'm thinking about (3) 300hp Verados :)

I've got just the boat for you. If you want Tripp 300 Verados. The badest one Concept has built to date! And I will gladly deliver to S.Florida

No problem at all to tow. I take mine out of state a good bit. Of course the right trailer and truck always helps. Good luck they are great boats!!
