this regulation was brought in for light vehicles. so you don't need a permit. My issue was the information was not readily available, I would argue that Vic Roads should be stipulating when its first registered that it complies with these Class O regs there are many Boats on the Roads here that are in the same "Boat"

Whatever mate, there are no exemptions anywhere in the country regarding the 2.5m rule.
Dont be surprised to find yourself regularly pulled over, as I know for a fact the road authorities and the highway cops are all targetting these oversized boats.

Would need to be 50 mm actual- well 45 to be exact!
I was thinking the same thing - however does the boat have some sort of ID tag that states length and width etc? (Is this how they knew you were oversize or did they pull out a tape measure?) What a lot of pain for 9cm. This may be a stupid suggestion, but would it be at all possible to rig up something that loads then tilts the boat? Nah - forget that idea! The top half of the boat will eventually widen the overall width again if it id angled too far.

My boat trailer is exactly 2.5 wide (Aus built so it complies) and I had to have it put on a flatbed the other day. The driver told me he had an exemption to be wider than 2.5 without signage because they will sometimes carry a 2.5 wide load, so need to be a bit wider to fit it on, just like my boat and trailer.

[QUOTE] The Cop has a special app on his phone that tells the dimensions of the boat when you put in the make/model, it would be near impossible to measure with a tape as its sort of an oval shaped boat. But they did get the tape out for the trailer.
