my friend tows a 25' parker{9'6" beam}to and from his slip without any permits. he's pulling it with a huge dodge dually, so the boat dosn't "look" all that much wider.
it's nice to have a wide beam, and it's also nice to have the option to throw the boat on a trailer, and shoot the boat a couple hundred miles up, or down the coast if you want.
the truck will surely get better milage than the boat.
i'de get a slip somewhear, and trailer "with the permits" when need be.
