Beam....on a 37 to 42 ft boat
 
I remembering seeing a V-hull with a certain beam I was looking at. So I though it faster and easier to ask all to post the beams on their boats between 37 ft and 42 ft
Thanks

8' 0" is all you need :cool:

42 Sonic 8' 5"

8' 6" is the widest you can tow on an open road without a permit.

Donzi is 9' 3" the extra width is a huge addition for comfort. While technically you need a permit to tow over 8' 6" I have never had someone measure my boat if they stop me. Just my $.02

Our Black Thunder is 9' 6". Love the extra room. Agree with mjpcowboy, don't think we are going to get stopped just so they can measure. Again, our 2 cents.

mjpcowboy...I think that was the boat. I will check in to it. Thanks
The one I remember reading about had a 8' 9" beam

43Thunder, yes I know they are beamy.
I trailer my 9 ft wide cat all the time and have only been asked about the beam.............no doubt I say 8' 6".
The one and only time there was a ticket was the day we went for a trail run in Florida before buying. The Sheriff's and CG where at the ramp. They wrote him (the driver of the tow vehicle, for the Boat Sales place) 6 citations. Over size, no permit, no license, no plates and registration and etc. And then they let us take the boat out.
