Gulfstream trailering ?

[Magnoman]

Looking to either get a gulf stream or a seafare 228 ( like enclosed transom)
As I get older, like a boat, that rides a little better, but not pound as much in 2-3 ft but stay with in 22-24 range .

Wondering about trailering a gulf stream I know it’s a heavy boat I literally trailer my boat twice a year stays in the water at the marina. Trailer and distance is only a few miles.
My current boat is about 3k lbs without motor has a 2016 F300 plus trailer around so total about 5k lbs
I trailer it with a mid size lexus suv ?

As to load, what is the current trailer capacity and the tow rating of your vehicle?

An added fact: It may not be an issue but in several states, a beam over 8 ft 6 in is a wide load and requires permits for trailering.

My opinion is, you will be fine. Short distance, very seldom use, you should be fine if you keep your speed down. The extra width is usually not noticed unless you have to cross some scales on your route. To make things as good as you can, make sure there is disc brakes on both axles. If money is plentiful, put electric over hydraulic kit on the trailer. You will do fine without that upgrade, but it's nice. Then, make sure you adjust the hitch ball height, so the trailer frame runs level. Air your rear tires to the max pressure stated on the sidewalls and you're good to go. Make sure all your lights are working correctly and don't turn on your headlights if it's daylight when you are towing. Stealth, remember? Nothing to see here. I would discourage driving that setup on the freeway though, slow speeds only. 45 and under.
