As I have honed in on a 280SS, I will need to transport from Upstate NY to Detroit.
My question lies on towing permits. The beam on the new boat is 9'2", the big PIA seems to be Ohio, their limit is 8'6", and the last thing I want to be dealing with is getting stopped by a trooper in a company truck with a boat that's 8 inches wider than the limit. They require all kinds of paperwork.
Has anyone who tows a larger vessel gained a permit in New York, Ohio, or Michigan? I was thinking of just taking the risk, as the boat is only 28ft not 30+.
Any thoughts? Any experiences?
Thanks!
Rob
