Guys, I have a question. I would like to see and if anyone pulls there 280 sea rays around to lakes, rivers etc, I have 2015 f350 super duty crew cab with 6.2 gas engine sticker says 11300lbs on door. I bought the boat about 5 years ago and been using it in the Pittsburgh rivers but I want to now explore other lakes and rivers around my area. I had purchased a 2013 yacht club custom tri axle trailer and fits good and is rated up to 14k. I would like to tow to Lake Erie, and local reservoir which is mostly 100 miles from home. The truck pulls it find locally in and out and for beginning and end season, but little concerned about little distance. Does anyone have experience pulling this size of boat? Do you get a permit, if so yearly or what is best option?? I had a 24 well craft cruiser and pulled it everywhere with a f150 and and feel experienced enough hauling it and sold that boat as my family out grew it. I would hate to sell to down grade being I can't trailer it, but losing interest in rivers as I have done as much as I could in rivers. Concerns are 9'5 beam. Boat says dry it weights 8500 and I have twin 5.0 plus generator. Trailer weights 2300lbs itself. Should I do yearly permit, one time permit for each trip and if so where is best place to get a permit. I have picture but can't down load it of truck and trailer.
Thanks
Mike
