You should do some research on your own for the specific states you will be traveling. This forum has a bias against towing tandem, and much of the info you will get is inaccurate.
I would say your length is going to be your biggest hold back. The only states that I know that have length limitations near what you are proposing are WY and MT.
I will say that I towed many thousands of miles with my truck, 5er, and boat where my total length was over 75', and never got any trouble going through states with much shorter restrictions. That was my experience, and a risk I was willing to take, but I am not sure yours will be the same.
There has been one of those stacker trailers used for sale near me for a couple of years. Interesting concept, but it looks like it would need a pretty light boat. Might be worth considering for your situation.
And, for the record, there are not many states that actually restrict tandem towing to require the first trailer to be a fifthweel. But again, I would advise to do your own research on the states you will travel through and not rely on this forum for info on this specific subject.
