In Calif. we are suppossed to be limited to 12,500.00 with a single axle 3500 Dodge Diesel. Over that a dully is required.
Doubtful it gets seriously enforced but that seems to be the rule.
I know at least 3 Albin owner's towing with a 3/4 ton the 28te series.

I tow with a single axle F350 diesel but shouldn't have any problems. I think that is the only law CT doesn't have.

I can't comment on West Coast Transport Companies, but I had EMI mariine transport sell me a custom Alu. Venture trailer which included boat pick up and delivery. The total cost was $4800.00 and now I own the trailer (8700# with all 4 wheel discs). They picked the boat up in Lindenhurst Long Island and delivered it to Mystic, Ct. I would highly recommend them.

Sounds like a good deal. Want to sell the trailer? Lol at least I know where to go to get some measurements. I live in Norwich, not far down the road.

I have a 2007 28 TE on a Loadmaster trailer that I tow regularly with a 1 ton gmc diesel SRW. No problem at all, I can pass everything except a gas station!
