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.

Thanks Frank. I'd be pulling with a Dodge Ram 2500 with the bigger engine.
And I'd only be pulling it 1 round trip per year.

Precision is a nice boat; it's a little big boat, if you know what I mean.
My Starwind (Taylor design) was a sailing dream, I just need a bigger bunk
to sleep in!
