Actually 8' 6" is the legal beam for towing without a special permit which I have looked into and it is a nightmare. Each state regulates separately and they only permit towing on certain days, different days, (usually weekends are not allowed) state to state which makes weekending a boat with this permit almost impossible unless you break the law sometimes. The permit is designed to allow you to bring a big to and from the water once or twice per year and to prohibit weekenders from towing bigger boats on a regular basis.
