Somehow I just can't quite see that going down the road behind a $2000
beater truck. Not saying it wouldn't or couldn't happen, but I would
be surprised to see it done routinely.

Frankly it's not really a trailer boat at all. Too wide in most
states without a wide load permit, and too heavy for anything but a
triple axle trailer and a super duty truck.

Trailerability for most boats tops out at about 24 to 26 feet.

I agree that an F-350 or equivalent would be the sort of truck best
suited to tow that 28-footer.

In many states the only permit needed is handled by the payment of an
annual fee and an agreement not to tow between sunset and sunrise.

Not suggesting that everybody run out and buy a GW, only responding to
a comment implying that "nobody would spend $120,000 to go trailer
boating."
Apparently some people do. And north of $120,000 gets them only a
boat, no trailer (another few thousand or so), and no tow vehicle.

A diesel F250 will pull a 28' Grady rig properly, if that is what you
want to do. But I doubt very many owners of 28' Gradys tow their boats
around.

Have you and Mrs. Spam picked out your summer parkas?
