As I have previously discussed, I plan to build a trailerable trimaran.
My major decision is whether to build the 8'6" wide version or the
9'4" wide version. The wider one requires a wide load permit. I plan
to trailer her on a routine basis every third weekend or so, maybe
more. 99% of my trailering will be in FL within 100 miles.
So, here is my question. IS it practical to trailer such a wide load
as routinely as you would trailer a normal load if I get a permit? I
am a little confused about what the permit allows in FL, do I have to
file a "flight plan" about my trailering course?
For those of you with F31 tris, would that extra 10" width make a BIG
difference in liveability?

Thanks

Not sure what the rules are where you are, but here you would have to
get a permit each time you took it to the water. Better to just stick
with the 8 1/2' version if you are trailering often.
