"My brother had the same type
"My brother had the same type boat you are getting into.I towed it for him for the past 5 seasons,1 1/2 hours each way-each year.I have a one ton dually, but you would have no problem with a 3/4 ton.Bottom line is drive defensivly and plan to stop 100' before where you want, and then idle to that spot.Safety first.
Now here's the biggy.Bondo's on it.I have lots of friends that I tow for.I WILL NOT tow without that permit.And yes some guys say its a waste.2 guys in our marina got caught last year and 1 fine was 8000 and the other 2000.How did they make out?Did I forget to mention that here in Penna. you need to up your insurance to 1 million dollars and have your truck and trailer registered in combination.Not sure how Fl. is on this.Just want to let you know the basic rules.Without a permit-accident happens-it all becomes your fault as you should not have been on the road.
Jeff...funny you should mention the 30' Carver.That is exactly what my brother just moved up to.Nice boat as you mentioned.Only problem I see with his is it came with 350's, but VP 290 drives and not so sure about them as there are not a lot of parts real handy for them....Todd"
