........what are the wide load restrictions on trailering boats or
RV's on the interstates and roads in your State?

I believe Interstates are exempt from state regs. for the most part. Local
regs vary, but 8'6" is pretty much standard. Truckers atlas's and some
others have State regs listed. There's been some contravercy up in NC about
this and Gene Has been following it.
As always, a quick google will bring everything you want to know to your
screen.


Thanks for all the information guys. A friend of mine has a boat with
an 8 1/2 foot beam and was thinking about trailering it down to
Florida when he visits his son there later this year.
