Depends on the state, I’ve trailered a 10’ wide center console from Florida to Wisconsin and back twice a year for over 10 years, never was stopped once.
The boat had triple verados and really didn’t look that wide.
Now that I think about it I towed my 44 Concept 10’ 9” beam with quads from...
I did some steps with rr ties, it been 4 years and no issues
If using r ties you can not cut them with a chain saw, I used a carbide blade circular saw making 4 cuts and sawed the rest with I long carbide saw sall
I have a buddy that owned a Ford, GMC and Ram 1/2 tons all at the same time, I asked which one he like the best, and he is not loyal to a brand, he said Ram, ask why, he like the interior the most
It all depends on what you want, nightlife? quiet? City? Country?
IMHO you do not want to be west or south of Dallas/FW
We live just outside Pilot Point, about an hour north of Dallas, it’s horse country and we have horses.
Denton and McKinney are nice but again it depends on what you are...
