Hello,
I'm looking to purchase a 2006 32 open and was wondering if anyone on here has one that they trailer.
Just wondering what trailer you have and the rig you use to pull it.
thanks

Unless you have a CDL and a huge rig, it's not happening. Well over 20klbs behind the truck, 13' wide, and likely too tall for most roads and bridges.

As an old retired trucker, if you decide to trailer this size of boat, the above post is pretty spot on. Check with whatever state you will be driving in, you don't want to get stopped and not have the proper permits, and also get a truckers atlas. Go to a truck stop, check to see if they have a Rand McNally, for truckers. It will give you every low clearance, load limit bridge and other things you will want to know. I know it sounds like a lot of research, but it's easy. As for a truck, minimum of 1 ton dually or bigger, like the F450 mentioned above. You want to be able to get it going safely, but more importantly, you want to stop it even more safely, big boats need big trucks. Hope this all makes sense, good luck.
