Picking up a 25' boat in N. Carolina with a 9 1/2 beam. After reading numerous threads about trailering in N. Carolina a thought I would get the single trip permits required by States. I already have a Fl. permit. Of the three states N. Carolina was the easiest. One phone call and I received the app. in 5 min. Sent it back and had the permit in about 15 minutes. Half a day later still working on Georgia and South Carolina. South Carolina at $30. One for Georgia $38. North Carolina total $12. If I had been trailering a boat up it would have cost twice for Georgia and South Carolina but not N.C.
