Re: Towing - R-series

Anything over 102" must have a permit to move. That being said, ALOT of folks trailer things that are wider. I'd be more worried about if your tow vehicle can handle a boat that big, and I don't necessarily mean "tow capacity". Wheelbase and brakes on the trailer should also be consid...

Re: Surcharge on 22 production

I just noticed this on their “build your dream” page… Stuff like this sort erodes my faith in humanity. It’s one thing to raise the price, I get that. But to come back after a deal in good faith has been hammered out and say “oh by the way where gonna need an extra 5K because better you than us!?!?...

Re: R Series Swim Steps look close to the props when lowered.

Re: R Series Swim Steps look close to the props when lowered.

On my R7 the prop does not come close to the swim platform when fully trimmed up. Guess it depends on which R you have.

Yeah, they are overrated. Might as well cut it off with a box anchor.

Not very nice calling a mans new love "a pig". How's your practice backing into the garage going BBP?

Re: Does this trailer make my boat look big?

Any load over 8'6" is considered over width and requires a permit to move. There are a few exceptions, but I'd check with your local DOT before going too far.
