    Thanks... I do have brake control but don't have a weight distribution hitch. Being the trailer has surge brakes wouldn't that affect braking of the trailer?

    They are offering a 5 year warranty as well with the new 16 but hopefully with sea ray being up for sale doesn't turn bad. Peace of mine is nice.

    Official 280 Sundancer Thread

    Thanks. I printed some pages off of the Ohio site. Hoping to get blanket permit for the year. I am close enough to the Ohio border and may just get the Ohio portion. Insurance though is expensive as they require half a million in liability insurance.

    Trailering a 2005 280 sundancer

    I think the braking issue shouldn't be a problem. In PA they require every axle to have brakes on them. I weighed my truck and its 7200lbs on certified scale and plan on taking the boat out to the same scale. Will try to get it empty on gas or close with no water and all tanks dry and get a...
