The beam limit is about 8'6" then your a wide load

A guy at my ramp Tows a Glastron GS279 it makes the full size truck look tiny and really looks like it could use a 3 axle trailer

I see a lot of 30' to 40' Twin engine muscle boats at the ramp also

102 inches wide (8 ft - 6 in.). Length is whatever the total vehicle length limit is in your state. I think thats 65 feet in most states.

I tow a Chaparral Sig 290. It has a 9-9 beam. I pay a hundred dollars annually for an over sized load permit (daylight towing only and good in my state only).
