Sam1647545489 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 About being able to tow 2 trailors at one time. I want to pull my boat and have my wave runner hooked to the back of the boat trailor to pull both of them at the same time. I have seen others do it but I dunno if it is legal or what.

Nitrousbird Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 From everything I've gathered it is illegal. Could always toss your PWC in the bed of the truck....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I have pulled my boat and jetski's this way. I'm not sure about the law but I did pass ohio state troopers, and tennessee troopers and they didnt give me a second glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmrmnhrm Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Another catch point may be whether or not the last trailer's brake/turn lights are functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 According to the Ohio Revised Code, I'm illegal in 80 of the 88 counties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 It is illegal, though rarely enforced. Good luck with the wiring, that could be a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 just rig up a long set of lights with magnets on the bottoms and go on your merry way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Unless someone can prove its illegal I've heard both ways on it from what I'd call reliable sources so who the hell knows. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ok cool, Joe I am pulling the boat with my jeep cherokee. Is the Cherokee even going to pull all of that?? I know you have a pretty light Jet Boat, but add on that another trailer/jetski/added drag, that might be a bit much for your rig. My boat is around 2800-3000lbs, and when I towed it with my Blazer and Jimmy, it did alright, but I knew it was back there, and wouldn't want to tow much more than that. Definately not an added PWC. With my Avalanche it isn't an issue, but that's a LOT bigger truck with a lot more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 its legal, word to the wise, don't back it up. it won't work so well. in michigan you see towing like this alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 i believed its based on total length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yeah, its based on total length. My dad used to do this all this time until he fabbed up a "rack" for our pwc. And yes, don't back up with both of them. Unhook the last one, park it, unload the first one, remove trailer and then do the 2nd trailer. One trailer is pie, but the 2nd is difficult. Have fun with it! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 you could always try putting the wave runner in the boat lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99ta Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 You could just call the Highway patrol and ask. phone: (614) 799-9241 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 you could always try putting the wave runner in the boat lol You obviously haven't seen his 'boat'.

stolen 5.0 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 yes, just call the state highway patrol. 2nd, the cherokee will die or the tranny will go out. hopefully it's down hill all the way there and back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type/size boat do you have? Watch that outdrive/prop on the second trailer. Post pics of how you do this. We normally just build makeshift carpetted wooden racks for the jet skis and toss them in the back of pick ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
