I just returned from towing my Mobius from England to the South of France and back, 2 days of towing each way.
This was my second year of doing it, with no problems.
Last year we had a blow out on the trailer, luckily dual axle Boatmate trailer didn't even feel it.
This year i greased the bearings beforehand and took a spare wheel/tyre and a trolley jack.
Towed all the way there and back with the cover off, started towing with the cover on, but it almost wrecked the cover and the boat, plus it looked bad.
Towing with the cover off dried out the boat nicely.
Kept our speed at 55-60mph all the way.
Filled the boat with wakeboard bags, cider and wine, and the swim platform, put the tower down and stuck some foam between boat an tower to stop rubbing.
Made double sure we emptied all the ballast and used up all the fuel in the tank before towing.
No sweat.Dave Longbotham

Towing your boat long distance – Do’s and Don’t
Thread Revival!!!
Question about removing the Z5 cargo rack for long hauls... Will the entire rack sit in the bed of a truck, flush without any sticking up/out? I have a bed cover is why I ask..
Also, have you ever just removed the canvas? Is that hard/tricky/time consuming?2004 Outback Blue on White *Sold

The Z5 will not fit in the truck bed, at least not in mine. I have removed the canvas, but yes, it is tricky and time consuming- more of a semi-long term solution if you want the storage and no Bimini. Search my posts to see how I store the z5 in the cabin of the boat. I tow at least 1 hr to the nearest lake and always drop the z5 into the boat- it's just part of my routine.

Removing the canvas is not that hard. Just don't remove all the little strings and balls if you don't have it. That's key. It takes maybe 10 minutes to put back on
