Default Z302 with IL Registration being transported up I-71 in Ohio
Stopped at a rest stop on I-71N outside of Columbus, OH on the way up to my boat and saw this Z302 with polo & gold graphics. I can't remember the name on the transom, but I believe it had "30 feet" in it... Registration numbers read IL 2259 JT. Was being towed by an older gentleman in a black dodge dually, had a magnetic sign on the truck with his DOT numbers on it.

Belong to anyone here? If so, she's a beauty!!

    Agreed that is a nice boat
    But he's taking a real chance towing with the windscreen uncovered!

    Can this boat be towed without special licensing?

    Yes, it can be towed. It isn't too wide.

    Andy, I did not think about this till we drove 12 hours to lake Powell recently. Our truck's windshield is cashed and the thing was just replaced prior to our wonderful trip. Just took one very inconsiderate jerk to pull out in front of us and "BANG!! BOOM!!!" Two huge chips an one spidered side to side.

    I used duct tape and a moving blanket on the way home...

    All Mariah's can be towed legally, they never made anything wider than 8'6" to stay within standard highway trailering limits.
