towing boat 15000# 10'6"
 

Any suggestions on a towing vehicle??? I own a 2008 f-250 with air bags already. I tow a 31' 12500# toy hauler now. I will only be towing 30 miles on flat ground.... stopping and being able to see down the sides of the boat are my concerns. :eek:

the 10'6" going to be the issue as that requires a wide load permit and if you get caught without they bust your ass

thought the limit was 11'???? you are right and the state guys are in my area on a regular basis with all the trucks...guess I will look into a slip

wide load
 

8 foot 6 inch is max over the road. anything wider is going to need permitting. alot of guys just say screw it and take the chance.

But if you ever had an issue...
and the insurance company investigates...
and you were not legal...
Do you think they will pay?

Not a whole lot of slips for rent around here. Blood River landing and Tickfaw Marina are the only ones that come to mind. No idea what any of them cost.

Any way to find indoor storage near a marina? This could allow you to only travel a mile or two, to the ramp. Just another option.

I didn't think of the indoor storage...they do have a few near Tickfaw...one right by the marina but I don't think it's deep enough to handle a long boat but its worth a shot. Hey...you got me thinking...my just pay for the new boat with this idea...:ernaehrung004:

30 yrs towing in La and never pulled over towing a boat..
I cant keep up with the restrictions every state is different.
12 ft wide not on a tilt !!! I roll the dice. :ernaehrung004:

I'd like to think I would have that kinda luck :rolleyes: but my luck isn't usually good :D...how far do you tow on average HotPursuit?
