Good Morning,
DOes anyone know if I can put an 88 Carner Mariner on a trailer and pull it? Is this a reasonable proposition?
Thanks

I just bought my Voyager in Salt Lake City and will be towing it down
to New Mexico next week. The boat is setting on a heavy duty three axle trailer with brakes on all six wheels. The boat is about 10,000 Lbs. and the trailer is another 2,500 Lbs. Becouse the beam is 11' wide, I will need "over size" permits for Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. About $75.00 for all three. The boat without anything on the top is 13' 6" high. Right at the limit!
I will be pulling with a F250 Superduty Diesel, and again, the truck rating is right at the limit. Bought a load equizing hitch rated at 12,000 lbs. I will need to pick a route without construction, and take it real slooooow.
Hope this helps.
FYI, I met a guy a couple a weeks ago that bought a brand new trailer rated a 7000 lbs for his bayliner. The boat comes in around 6500 Lbs, so he thought he was alright.... I looked up the trailer data, and found the trailer was 2000 lbs. so... he was overloaded before he even started. Make sure you include the weight of the trailer, some fuel, water, and other junk, before you decide on the trailer.

Thanks Diver D.
Great info. Just shot that plan, but it's not a real plan unless it can change, right?I don't think the Landcruiser is up for it.
I'm new with this size boat. I'm at either extreme, 17ft bowrider or an LHD (qualified officer of the deck, even Marines can drive boats!)
so tried to get a reference for what I was getting into.
Good luck on your adventure
