Re: Trailer a 3067 Santego??
Thanks for the tip about needing a bigger than average truck to do the pulling.
My dilemma is this.......
My wife and I sold our house with the intention of bringing the boat down from Canada through the Erie Canal to Florida then to the Bahamas. No rush no worries but then the "Apocalypse" happened.
Now stuck in Canada with nowhere to live as of November. Not sure if the borders will open in time to make the trip through the canal system before they close for the season
Running all kinds of scenarios through my head and its starting to hurt, lol.

Re: Trailer a 3067 Santego??
In your situation, you’re talking hundreds of miles. But it won’t be cheap, but may be your only solution to move yours. You might be under the 13’6”” height limit, but you will definitely be over the 102” width limit, so over width permits will be required.
I have seen 3067’s on trailers, but again with the weight, I wouldn’t want to pull one with a regular pickup. I serious doubt that a one ton pickup would have enough to do it safely, with “safely“ being the key word, especially on that long of a move. Professional movers aren’t cheap, plus in your situation you also have a border crossing to deal with, which will be just another added headache.
On an added note, if you move her by water under her own power, you will have completed half of the loop. If you do and come down via the Illinois, Mississippi and TN rivers. I’m on your way down so give a holler and stop for a visit!

Re: Trailer a 3067 Santego??
My post is so late I'm not sure if you will even see it or not but I thought I would give it a shot because I've got direct experience with this. I have a similar size Carver and It definitely can be trailered. A number of years ago I hired a service to trailer it from Michigan down to Sarasota Florida. I had purchased my own triple axle aluminum trailer and the person towed it with a slightly "performance enhanced" (So he claimed) 1 ton Chevy Dooley diesel pickup. He got all the proper over wide permits for each state and had proper insurance overall (Very important). I met him in Michigan when he picked up the boat and he called me three or four days later when he delivered it to a marina in Florida. I had the marina in Florida look it over and all was good.
Good luck!
