TRAILERING Possible ? 1985 Sedan Bridge 300?

[Captain Scotia]

New member here and looking for some input on the 85 sedan bridge 300. I just sold my Grady seafarer and now am looking at buying an 85 sedan bridge.

The question is can this boat be trailered? I know I am legal in Length and width. I have a 3500 Dodge Ram diesel with upgraded springs and air bags. The truck is more the capable of towing the weight as well, the questions is Height ? Don’t want to have to take anything apart on the fly bridge every time I trailer.

Both of the boats I am looking at don’t have trailers so I’ll have to buy one, so can’t just ask what the height is, unfortunately.

Will it’s be over 13’7” on a trailer ?

I have to have a boat I can trailer so if this is not possible I’ll have to look at a different model.

Thanks all

I need over size permits and I'm at 10' 6" I trailer it fine.
Mine is also 12' to the top of the arch, which is why the folding antennas.
But a Sedan Bridge I think you would need to measure it on the hard to know for sure.
And I suspect it will be over height.
Your specs:

There was a very nice guy who took a 1980's 300SD bridge from North Carolina to ? Oregon?. He did a complete refit on his and documented it. He ended up I think in Alaska with it. Sold it and got a trawler I believe. I think he towed it with a 350 but not 100% on that. Hopefully somebody will remember him. Try search function. Good luck, JC
