Morning folks,
Went and surveyed the new to us, 2000 32B this past weekend, and I'm headed back this weekend, to drag it back to Fl. At a beam of 9' 4" , it's slightly over width, do you think DOT will notice or hassle me. Boat is in WI.
Thanks,
Dean

It's barely noticeable that the hull is past the width of the trailer fenders by 2" on each side, I searched the Skater forum about this Q, didn't find any info.
Tx,
Dean

I wouldn't pay any mind to it and just bring her down. Very nice buy Dean!

I've read/heard those stories too. Stay on the highway through Illinois. I'd assume you are going to cut through Chicago, and over to I-65. The stories of over length and over width boats and such in Illinois have mostly been in small towns, where they have gone overboard on laws enforcement, including impounding and fines. Just jet through the city, and you will be fine.
