[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 470867, member: 22374"] Since you're already toting a similar boat, if you can get it in and keep the bow and stern steady side to side, and you're OK with the overhang from the tailgate you're good to go, just be sure to follow your state cargo protrusion / overhang marking law. I don't think that the beam at 60" will be your problem, the "V" up front and the overhang off the tailgate may be. My Silverado bed is also 6'6" and with the tailgate down my 10' Lowe Jon still overhangs the tailgate by two feet (3.5' from the back of the truck) and I do not have to flag or illuminate the overhang here in Florida. A 12 footer would overhang the tailgate by 4 feet (5 1/2' from the back of the truck) and I'd have to have lights and a flag on the boat. From Fla. Statutes... "Oversized loads can overhang a vehicle by 3 feet to the front, 4 inches to the side and 4 feet to the rear. Flags and lights must be used properly to mark oversized loads" [img]https://i.postimg.cc/TP6BNMHn/lowe-boat.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
