What size boat comes to mind when you hear the term "trailerable"?

    It's roomy, but the highway permits are a hassle and some ramps are too steep.

    All are trailerable, just by what means! However for the everyday boater that wants to trailer, beam is the key as well as an appropriate towing vehicle.

    Can I tow this with my F150? (My favorite boat forum question)

    I tow a 28 footer all the time. in the keys 30 footer center consoles are not rare going down Hwy 1

    I consider trailerable anything narrow enough to tow without a permit (or narrow enough to play dumb to a cop)

    I've found proper trailer set up makes or brakes a trailerable experience as well as access to deep ramps.  Here in the upstate we have the luxury of deep/steep ramps even if the lake is down near 10 ft on most public ramps.  

    I'm at 9.5 beam, secondary roads are threading a needle.  The main roads and free way I am very comfortable at posted speed limits.  Once im off those Im slowing down
