DL needed to tow two trailers tandem

[JohnBoy]

I would like to tow two double jet ski trailers. With both hooked up it's 27 feet long. Car hitched to double trailer with hitch on back then double trailer hitched to that. Toungue wieght on trailer 1 is 200# on trailer 2 it's 25#. There are 6 skis total on the trailers and we ride them all

I'm in Pinellas County Florida and does anyone know what type of endorsment I need on my DL tow trailer like this.
Thanks, John S

I don't think it is legal to tow tandems with a car, especially on secondary roads.

We used to tow tandem tunnels boats behind a half ton truck, we usually were ok but it is not legal in Florida and Texas if i remember correctly

Its a screwy deal. some states do allow it....

If I remember correctly, people with driver's license in certain states can come into florida towing two trailers in tandem legally, but you cant do it in fla. with a florida drivers license legally.

someone correct me if Im wrong.

May wanna pm Warren. He does it sometimes....but when you have that much *BLinG* rolling down the highway who really notices.:thumbsup:

Mickey's dead on.

As far as I know the only way of doing that legally anywhere would be if the first trailer was a gooseneck/fifth wheel trailer. 2 tag trailers would not be legal.

I towed double Sea Doo trailers, 4 on board 2 trailers, for 10 years back and forth to middle TN, never an issue for me.

Thanks, that is a great resource

those Fla laws shown above are not correct....

[JohnBoy]

Thanks guys:p

Looks like I will have to find a someone near Gulfport with a 2" hitch that likes to ride all types of skis....I'm serious about this

I have 2 modded GP1200R's (1 - 70+ GPS), Kawi 650sx factory race ski (Vp110 very fast 54.3 GPS)), Kawi 650sx (westcoast/bad bones, 38sbn, 8 year old sons), Kawi X2 BPM race motor (my favorite).

No idoits please, this means driving like 95% of jet ski riders. We ride on the flats at 10 cent toll. We stay out about 3-6 hours depending on tides. Always grill and eat a lot. We have kids and our other friends brings their kids too and their skis. I don't drink but don't care if anyone drinks as long as they are responsible. Ride both Saturday and Sunday

Damn I feel like I'm on craig's list

Please do not post use PM or I will have to move this to the lounge. Thanks

What are the correct FLA laws?

What are the correct FLA laws?

In Florida....

It makes no sense but....you can come down here with your Maryland D.L. and your Maryland tags and ride around in Florida towing your boat trailers in tandem legally, but you cannot ride around in Florida towing your trailers in tandem legally if you have a Florida D.L. and Fla. tags. Go figure.....

That's great ... all I'd have to do is figure out how to get thru Virginia :thumbsup: Good thing I'm not planning on double trailering


On the practical side ... I don't think I'd even consider doubling without brakes on the rear trailer even if it was legal everywhere

Fla is 65'

brakes on 3500# axles

at least the DOT chart I have says that
