Default Ahoy Scotty- road permits

Scotty,
Do you know how wide a beam I can carry on PA, NJ, Del roads without a permit?

And what if I went 10' beam and pulled it home each winter, do you see any problem getting a permit and pulling with my Dodge Ram 2500? Any idea what that permit might cost? (from Chesapeake to Trappe).

Nice boat. I've been thinking about a smaller Precision.

This may help you with tow capacity. Gives ratings for various
engines, transmissions, cab styles, rear end gear ratios. I've been
told you better derate them about 20% if you are towing long distances
particularly in hills.

Ratings are for towing capacity only. Also need to consider the Gross
Combined Vehicle weight rating, which usually derates the total towing
capacity.
