26 wa with twins is a heavy rig for everyday trailering. I wouldn't do it. Sure it is nice to have a trailer for a quick haul but to run down for a quick ride...pain in the butt dealing with hitches and ramps. IMO it is worth the $125/ft to dock it or a town mooring for a more cost effective way.
I find other vehicles suck on the road when trailering. I hate going over the borne bridge with my boat. People pass you with a couple inches and your wheels are nearly kissing the curb on the other side. From now on I plan on taking both lanes when going over a bridge. They can wait 30 more seconds till we get over to the other side.
Also on the highway at speed you have a-holes so close to your props you think they are stealing it. Its not like you can stop this 50' rig on a dime either. You have a 6K# boat pushing a 3K# truck at 60...that is a lot of moving mass.
Its one thing if the boat is small and light but I think if you are over 23'....forgetaboutit. Yeah I know you see 38' fountains being towed...but you don't want to be doing that.
tie her up. (you will use the boat more as well)
