It's okay. When you see them on the lake later that day, Idle by them with a scowl and don't wave. Sorry.... too soon

I figure the tires on my boat are H rated....so that's good for way faster than I want to go. I can say I have had mine, behind the truck, up to around 100mph once. Passing someone. Then I realized I was really getting out of hand.

I usually set the cruise control on whatever the speed limit is when towing. And around 5-10 over it when not towing.

If you're running a 12' single axle Dilly with 13" tires, then I would stay under 65. If you're running a tandem axle trailer with an average size bass boat, hammer down. I have run 85-90 on long trips- no problem.

I believe the speed limit for pulling a boat in Texas is 70 mph.

That's a matter of opinion...

Like mentioned above , max out on tire pressure , long wheel base helps also .

85-90 mph pulling a 4,000 lb rig.

Sorry, JMO but that's insane to drive and pull any trailer that fast.
Surely hope you don't ever have a blowout or flat tire on either truck or trailer.

God Bless

unless laws have changed recently, the max speed for a vehicle pulling a trailer (in Texas) is 70, and only 65 at night. maybe that has changed in the last few years; don't know.

but, there is a reason for that lower speed limit. you may think you can control your big truck and big boat at 80 mph, but you can't, thus the lower limit.

If your tires are in good shape and your trailer brakes work as they should, go with the flow of traffic. That's what I do.

I'm one of the slow ones too. I rarely go over 70 mph towing the boat unless I'm going through a city where everyone is speeding (more dangerous to go the speed limit a lot of the time) or after several practice/tournament days in a row where I'll really "let it fly" to like 73-74 mph. Usually more interested in saving gas than time, and I enjoy driving. Buy quality tires and keep them inflated to around 50 psi and she'll be fine.

Look at your tires ratings. If its hot outside you will blow them if your exceeding their rating by over 20 mph. Your tires could be rated at 55 mph.

Peddle down, make tire pressure is right and go, promise you don't wanna go 65mph all the way when you got 500miles to get to where you are going

I drive the speed limit, never been is that big a hurry. Not worth the speeding tickets or issues with blow out which I've had even running below the speed limit. I never have understood the need to run 20+ over the speed limit with or without a trailer behind me.

The furthest that I drive is about 2 hours to fish. The difference between 65-70 MPH and 80-85 MPH really makes very little difference in total time. It's like the people who drive 10 miles to get to work at 90MPH. They're gonna get to work like 2 minutes earlier. A big time saver to drive like a maniac. I get good mileage around 70 MPH, over that my truck just starts sucking gas. That's money I could be using towards lures.
