GL: permits for hauling trailerable boats

[djmarchand at cox.net]

The width of your boat and trailer will be the governing factor. For Interstate highway travel and most of the 48 contiguous states the limit is 8' 6". For some states it is 8' outside of Interstates which is governed by federal law.

I understand that some people run down the highway with 9' or so wide boats and if they ever get caught just pay the fine rather than permit them.

At some point, 12' or so you need an escort, but you won't be trailering that sort of boat with a normal towing vehicle.

YMMV however.
