Default Boat Trailer Towing Speed Discussion

I try to stay within 10 mph of the speed limit. Above that the gendarmes
seem to take a greater notice. Since the speedlimit for vehicles towing in
California, I try to stay between 65-70 on the open freeway. That keeps me
only passing a semi once in a while.



There also are width limits on trailer rigs in some states that are
narrower than those in other states. These limits sometimes are
"enforced" by cops at launch ramps, with tickets written up to boat
owners who do not have the necessary over-width permit. Some bridge
authorities are enforcing "width" rules on their structures. There's a
bridge around here where the authorities do that. If you have an extra
wide boat, they won't let you tow it across the bridge.
