I am considering buying a Cu****er 28 inboard single Diesel cruiser.
260 HP Yanmar six, usual amenaties. Thirty three feet with the pulpet
and swim platform. A telescoping ladder over the bow to access a
beach. Probably close to 9000 pounds fully equipped with AC rev cycle
and a generator, as well as full fuel and water. Standard bow and
stern thrusters, optional wireless remote and optiional cockpit
mounted wheel and throttle. Hold it against the fenders with the
thrusters while you untie the lines. The head has a flimsy glass bowl
for a sink, attached at the bottom, not recessed and sure to break
right off if anyone puts any weight on it. The head door will not open
fully if the V berth is made up. So what do you need to haul it?

The tow rating of any of the heavy duty diesel dualies is generally
well over 10,000 lbs. One of my neighbors claims 14,000 lbs for his
GMC. You might not even need a dualie but they certainly tow better.
You'll also need a heavy duty 3 axle trailer, preferably aluminum to
keep your total weight down. If going any distance I'd try to
minimize the amount of fuel and water on the boat and opt for disk
brakes on every axle.

Dualies are fuel hogs, and don't add that much to towing capacity.
