We came across this setup with FW and boat trailer in Utah while stopping for gas and a Subway. Chatted briefly with the owners. Overall length was 81'. They claimed it tows great. We got back out on the interstate, doing the usual sharing the road with 18 wheelers and doing 65 mph when they came FLYING past everyone probably at around 80 mph. Okay so posted limit is 80, but I wonder what would happen if they had to suddenly hit the brakes or swerve to avoid a collision.
The photo isn't that great and doesn't give a very good sense of how long it was. In person, 81' long is just humongous.
Is Utah that different compared to other states that it would allow 81' and going that speed?
