In Maryland we have to inspect our trailers for safety whenever they are sold. Eric told me part of the reason he would not come down was because he had to get the trailer inspected. I would bet that it will be in good shape for the ride.

I have driven that route many times. The Pennsylvania turnpike will be less than enjoyable dragging a trailer but you shouldn't have any issues at all with that tow vehicle. The biggest issue is the number of semi trucks and mountains. Just take your time and expect to average around 60MPH or so and you will be in good shape. Make sure that spare has plenty of air and you may even want to bring along a decent jack just in case. When I go on long trips I often toss my battery powered impact wrench and a flashlight in the back just in case.

Make sure to spend a couple of days in OC with your new boat and enjoy!

Stay off the WV. Turnpike, a semi caught on fire in the tunnel at the Wv. Va. Border looked bad from the pics I saw, I bet it will be closed a while.

Take some bungee straps and various zip ties.. I think I remember you saying you were getting a spare for the trailer, make sure it's the correct size before you leave with it.

Mark I might call Boat US and get the boat insured (if you have not already) and get the "Trailer Assist" towing service.

You can sign up tonite and be ready for the trip. A good "just in case" and then keep it for a year.

Give me a buzz when you get in. Check you PM for my cells. I'm headed home to Silver Spring tonite but coming back to OC tomorrow night before I head out of state for the weekend. I can meet you at Bayside Thur morning if you like and I have some of those orange "basic" life preservers for you to use and keep as extras, until you complete your stash.

Might want to consider a portable air pump? Have fun! Stay geeked up! I wish I were in your shoes! And as always, take plenty of pictures.

I'd also mention to the dealer that this site probably led to you buying their boat, if that is the case. More customers for them= more traffic here.
