Okay, simple question, what is the longest boat that can be trailed on a "normal" trailer pulled by a car or van, rather than needing a truck or specialist vehicle?
I note that Wilderness Beavers are 23 feet, and I think there is an Atlanta 24 (feet?) but have a vague recollection Sea Otter once produced a 31 foot trailable leviathan.
Subsidiary question - what is the definition I'm looking for, is it pulled on a tow hitch? pulled with a vehicle under a given weight? I would say "ordinary driving licence" but that's less true now
The reason I ask is that I'm looking at a restoration scheme where it is very unlikely that there will be a full length boat resident, the canal is isolated and non-standard size anyway. Add to this that as restoration advances winding holes will be needed, but in many cased providing a full size one is problematic and we'd end up with a lot of them, so what size 'ole would be useful? I'm aware there might be a resident trip boat, but that's a different consideration
Thank You
