While this boat is, technically, "trailerable," it should be noted that in most jurisdictions an oversized load permit is required, and an "Oversized Load" banner must be displayed across the stern when it's on the road. Only boats with beams of 8'6" are TRUE trailer boats.
Great point! The beam is 10' so indeed owners in certain areas will need a permit for towing on public roads. That said, since the boat is under 12 feet wide, there are a number of easy permit options depending on the state and local regulations. For example, in Florida a single trip wide load permit will allow width up to 12 feet and currently only costs $16. A blanket annual wide load permit that allows trailers up to 12 feet costs $90 for the year. Many boaters are comfortable with those costs and permitting procedures so it may not be an issue for them. Some would prefer to keep the boat under 8'6" so they never have to worry about having a valid wide load permit. Depending on the region, some may not be required to obtain a wide load permit.
@@boattrader Yeah, the permits aren't a major impediment for most people. My brother just sold his Ranger Tugs R-29 a few months ago, and during the time he had it he mostly kept it in the water at a marina, but he towed it a few times and I think in the Puget Sound area the permit was only $5 or $10 per day.
Hi - there are quite a few Cutwater C-288 boats for sale on Boat Trader right now, below is a link to all the listings available now and their locations: www.boattrader.com/boats/makemodel-cutwater:c-288+cutwater:288+cutwater:c-288-coupe+cutwater:c-288-c/
With twin 250hp engines you can get around 1.4mpg at cruising speed (around 37mph) giving you a range of around 250 miles, depending on load and sea state. It's an efficient boat.
I didn't know Barbara Corcoran sells boats too.
Awesome, it includes almost everything to stay overnight.
Yes it does!
Great looking boat. Would rather have the wood steering wheel but I guess that's minor.
Fair enough! But yes, agreed these Cutwaters are sweet boats! We love them.
