Towing My Boat Behind My Fiver'

Looking for some opinions from those who have done this,,, i have a Dodge 3500 diesel dually with a 36' CC fiver that I travel from Ontario to Florida and I'm considering bringing my 20' inboard boat with me. I understand that triple towing is illegal in Georgia and Florida but I've seen so many doing it and have been told by many that the police don't bother snow-birds doing it. Again I'd like to hear your opinions,,

thanks in advance!

    I remember when people said ignore the length restrictions in NC several years ago. State got rich on that one just as they will on what you suggest. Looks like you would be 75+ feet long with most states limit at 65ft. Ignore the snow birds? They are a favorite target of the police. I wouldn't do it even if it were allowed, not very safe.

    If it's against the law and you do it keep in mind an accident will allow your insurance company to bail out on you!!!! I saw a boat smashed up into a 5th wheel once in a chain reaction wreck near Denver. The boat was totally inside the trailer!! The 5th wheel had torn the hitch loose from the truck bed and it was half way into the cab of the truck!! Lawyers got rich on this one!!
