How much hassle is it to get a yearly over wide permit? The southern Kingfish Association fishermen trailer big center console boats up to 40+ all over the country (one of the favorites is the tournament 38’ Fountain and it is 10’-6”wide )...so it can't be too hard to get...a better question might be how wide can you go with a permit before you have to have escort vehicles, in some states it is anything over 14’ wide. Any one here knowledgeable about this subject? It could open up a whole new world of possibilities.

I am not sure the time limits for permits, but was thinking that they were only good for certain planned trips (not aimless wandering). You also have to avoid certain highways during certain times, use escorts, etc. I think it is big hassle.

All of this is conjecture from past dealings with US Federal and State governments. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
