OBTW the trailer I got with the boat was made by Owens & Sons Marine Inc. a company in Fla. that has been building the Aluminum slide on trailer for about 4 decades I talked to Doug he was able to give me just about every inch of the build specs on this trailer that was built in 1983 and is sending me upgraded torsion axles and other items to rebuild the trailer for a safe journey . Well so far so good will keep you all posted with the actual move
That's where I ran into my problem. My insurance co would not fill out the OS 32. Once they found out that I had a boat that required a permit to haul, they sent me the exclusion statement which was already in my policy. They wanted me to buy a commercial policy(at double the price) before they would fill out the paperwork. I wound up having to change insurance companies. Hope you have better luck.
