Default Re: Long distance towing question..

Always paraniod [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Otto thats what keeps me out of trouble, Its the fender bender that turns into a law suit that worries me. Worry about the DOT? try passing a scale house with a plate that says COMMERCIAL in letters that are only half an inch high on the bottom, count to twenty and your pulled over, then ten minutes of expalining your not on business while they look EVRYTHING over. My plates are a neccesity for bussiness use but they mean something else to every other state. A new trailer isn't in the budget but If I make the trip I definatly want brakes on this one at least. I've had bad experiances on 95 in Jersey with my Mass commercial plates, in an otherwise plain truck, getting kicked off the garden state parkway just for the plates on the truck. So if its gonna happen its gonna happen to me. The truck(F350) donsn't even feel the boat back there it stops and goes like its not even there,its rated to tow 12500lbs so it doesnt even feel the 3500 thats back there. I'm gonna go search and see if I can find a disk brake kit that is for retro fits so far I can't see mto find one there all replacemnt parts. We'll see, a few weeks in sunny Florida in the dead of winter using my boat would be great I just gotta get it there
