Okay folks. As I stated I am aware of where it is legal or not. As for Delaware, not concerned as I live near the state line. I am asking for issues that some of you have mentioned and appreciate your thoughts. I remember a few years back watching several P/U trucks pulling a TT and a bass boat behind the TT down Route 40. Just got me to thinking.
Legal issues are the most likely issues you will encounter. What other answers were you expecting?
If you think you can sneak it through, go for it.

I am licensed SD so maybe that has helped.
How would a law officer know that by looking at your rig chugging by at 70MPH?

"Several time there were LEO near the rest stop before the turn, and as you might guess, drop the second rig in the rest stop, pay the fine"
Do you know for a fact they were ticketed?

It's pretty much impossible to get cross country like this. None of the midwest states allow it unrestricted. Michigan requires an endorsement. Most only allow it with a 5th wheel, the rest have short length limits. Only when you hit Wyoming/Utah will you be in the clear. Until Oregon, as mentioned. Can't do it in OR/WA, so you'd have to leave the boat in Boise or Ontario (which is in Oregon, but the local PD won't bother out of staters with doubles that close to Idaho).

Before I retired (LE) we wrote illegal combinations and overlengths all the time. Not only did the driver get at least 1 citation but they dropped whatever they were towing had to be dropped. The driver had to figure where to move it and if he didn't or couldn't we would. He then had to pay the tow bill and storage until he come for it. Wasn't cheap.
We didn't cut them any slack and the reason was obvious. Like you, they knew it was illegal but they decided to do it anyway. If they intentionally violated the law then they could pay full frieght for knowing violate the law and thinking they could slide thru.
