I'm going to get a Loadmaster trailer for my 290, and a suitable truck to pull it. This is quite a step for me. I've dry stacked a 290 for nearly 8 years in Charleston, SC and had great times and spent hundreds of hours exploring the creeks and waterways. But, it's time for the next challenge--trailering the 290 to Florida for doing the crossing to the Bahamas, and exploring the Keys. Can anyone here tell me how serious SC and FL are about wide loads? The 290 has a beam of 9'8", and the on-trailer weight will be close to 14,000 lbs. I assume I'll need WL permits for both SC and FL, but what about restrictions? Can I tow on weekends? After dark? Any other issues? Any suggestions? I've towed 21' boats and a 50' motorhome, but this will be a big boat over lots of miles.
Thanks,
Sadler
