Beam Considerations

[CelticSea]

Looking to get some perspective from others. I understand the requirements for a trailering permit over 8'6. What if a boat has a beam of 8'9. Thoughts?

3” over wouldn’t be a concern for me. Proper trailer brakes would be a larger concern. Good boat I’d snap it up.

That extra 3” goes a long ways. Joking aside, I wouldn’t worry about it being slightly over. Nice rig too!

I have a 24’ with 8’9” beam,10 years and have never had a problem

Really nice looking boats. I’ve always admired the look.

I love my 250 coastal incredible riding boats
Even better after I podded it

Is it an i/o or an o/b?
Inboard NO...

That's a beauty! Had the same boat until last year but the 232 model. Quality boat, love your Alaska package .Only thing just watch the blue hull for dock rashes. Lots of bumpers but you just maybe a better captain than me. Lol.
If there ever is a need I have about 1/2 gallon of the correct Wellcraft Dark Blue gelcoat for touch ups.

You'll be very happy with that boat,I have a smaller version in the same colours,and it matches my truck too.. "Drink" was nice enough to give me some gelcoat recently to do a small repair,a perfect match.I had a surveyer tell me he rates the Wellcraft-Aquasport-Hydrasport line of boats as good or better than Grady build wise.

I also have the smaller version of that boat and I'm pretty happy with the quality.....I have had mine 10 years and she has been pretty good to me.

My truck is white so any glass boat matches
