Question
Could you please tell me what is the maximum width and length of a boat that
you may tow behind your vehicle in South Africa.
Answer
This is not a straight forward answer (without having the details of the vehicles you wish to use). Total length is restricted to 22m, but this can be affected by the GVM of the trailer and type of trailer to be towed. Maximum width is 2, 5 meters (but there are exceptions).
I have included a table to assist you:
