I am attracted to some of the catboats and catboat derivatives available, with their generous accommodation for a given length. Needless to say it is increased beam and belly that gives them that enhancement. Before seriously considering this option, I want to find out how much hassle there would be in towing something on the public highway that may range from 9'6" to a little over 10' wide
My concern is entirely from a constabulary point of view. I would be moving the boat a couple of of times a year between Alberta and BC, with possible future dips ♬South of the border, down USA way ♬
Is all I need 1. Flags (and corner lights at night); 2. Oversize Load sign; 3. Permit, maybe annual permit, from one province, or maybe one from each? Ditto for any states visited?
I'd appreciate answers from people who actually DO this, because I have already, via the magic of Google, read the multiple and multifarious theoretical opinions of other people who have Googled this question! I hereby coin a new term: Google Spiral, for this descent into baseless theory, and I confess that I am as guilty of it as anyone else.
