Towing SL 1700 Miles - Adivce?

[larry_arizona]

The factory cover will not chaffe the gel, it also covers a good part of the front. The Supra covers are incredible for towing.

I personally would invest in a few rolls of 3” blue 3M painters tape and tape all leading surfaces of the bow and trailer.

$20 of tape works great. Car guys use this all the time on cross country transport

Number one..

Get boat trailer towing insurance!

Trailers aren't covered by regular towing and tow companies need different insurance to deal with trailer towing so many can't tow it. Only $14a year at boat us.

Boatmates come with roadside service even for the tow vehicle.

Although not sure if it’s transferable.

Cool, it's an add on for boatus boat towing, I have that as well.

Not transferable. I checked. Original owner must register within 30 days of completed purchase.

Trailer Aid Tandem Trailer Tire Changing Ramp. Hands down the easiest, quickest way to change a tire on a trailer.

Nice product...

BUT.. (according to many Amazon reviewers)

Doesn't work with leaf spring axle trailers, just torsion spring axle trailers. I'm sure Supra's are all torsion, but the Moomba standard trailer is a leaf spring IIRC, and I don't believe this product would get the wheel up enough to change a tire.

OP was asking about trailering a Supra boat and Boatmate trailer with a torsion spring axle.

GO CARDINALS!!

Although the covers are fantastic I would never tow even an hour without shrink wrapping the cover lines and up on the bow top and transom corners. If you don’t it will chafe to a keen eye. Roll of shrink wrap from a industrial supply store or a bit of tape for long journeys pretty cheap insurance.

Understood. Just mentioning it in case other forum members jump to buy one thinking it will work.
