Can we talk specifically about big boats/rigs for trailering?
If all goes well my wife and I will be new to us owners of SR 370 Venture by Memorial weekend. Although we will keep it in a slip most of the time on Lk St. Claire, MI; we intend to trailer this boat several times a year (maybe not trailering until next year tho..). Some trailering will take us all the way to Florida and back and to other interesting large bodies of water. Would be great to see rigs / setups of others in this size category with some specific details of:
- boat: Model, beam, dry/ship'g weight, needs to lower radar arch (how?), special work/needs to trailer safely, etc.
- trailer: make, model, types of construction (alum.? I-beam?), hitches, brakes, axles, tires, paint, overhang, etc.
-Rig: make, model, specials add-ons or packages for trailering, GVWR, GCWR, tires, receiver type, etc.
- Licensing, permits, signage/ flags, needed etc.
Doesn't look like there's a ton of us in this trailering category. But it would be great to be able to share tips, specs and pics to do it safely.
I can only share pending boat purchase specs so far:
370 Venture
37' 2" LOA
11' 3" beam
15,432lbs dry
12' 9" bottom of keel to top of radar arch (so it will need taken down or hinged for regular trailering to stay at or under 13' 6" hwy rating)
Details and pics of your setup would be great!
