T&T: Trailer trawlers

[Roger Bingham]

Hi All

I have just been looking at the North Pacific Yachts 28 Trailer Trawler.

LOA 28ft
Beam 8' 6"
Dry weight 7000lbs

I have never considered this type of boat before.

What vehicle would be necessary to tow this rig?
What special authorisation/permission (if any) would be required?
Would there be different requirements in different states?

I have experience with a variety of very large vehicles so the
practicalities of driving are not a concern.

Thanks in advance
