    Towing 30'+ & CDL, Non-Commerce

    Andrew. At least you have the truck for the job. My main concern would be tires. I always upgrade my tow vehicle rims and tires. Wider, more plys, and stiffer sidewalls. Check the code on the sidewall.

    268 Captain's Chair Question

    Yes. I have the same set up. And I can not seem to tighten down to stop the swivel. Just increase the drag.

    Best trailer to buy.

    I purchased a venture 8800 from enterprise marine on tht. A little overkill for my 268 Islander but I would rather have more trailer than less.

    Towing Help

    I will say up front that I am biased. I have a 20' Kencraft center console and a 268 Islander. The ramp is a little over a 1/4 mile from our place in Greenbackville VA. My truck of choice to tow and pull boats from ramps is a 3/4 ton 4×4 diesel pick up. My teuck is a 2019 chevy 2500 HD Z-71...

    License Numbers

    Boat operators have licenses. Boats themselves have registration numbers. State registration numbers have certain parameters that USCG and other law enforcement have set in order to uniform through all states. Those parameters include spacing, fonts, and location.

    Marina’s being absorbed Big Business ?

    While it does not affect me now as both boats are on trailers with ramp 1/4 mile away, it may in the future. Italian Angler hit the nail on the head. Was just a matter of time before it happened. Inherited properties that can turn into quick cash. Easier for corporations to redevelope properties...

    Where do i find out about radar?

    Useful tool for navigation. I just picked up a furuno 1731 mk3 for $200. Old unit but newer than the boat. Just remember..... radar doesn't pick out crab pots. (unless there is a radar reflector attached).
