Need to rent or borrow a good trailer for my 280 Baha

Why dont u just drive it down the lake?  I got a quote on moving a boat from Conneaut to Port Clinton was over $600 for a hauler with the proper permits...Thats alot of Gas.....
 
You should know every hauler Ive talked too claims Ohio is a Son of a B on towing something that large and If your are coming east down Route 2 then down 90 to Erie you are going to pass a state cop or 10 almost guaranteed.  Over 8'6'' you'll need the towing permits as well.
 
Have Happy Days drop it in at Port Clinton....Fill er' up....Hang a right and head east for 120miles or so....
 
120+ Miles, 20+mph (time = distance / Rate of Speed)....about 6hrs and its all done...Boat should have a 200+mile range easy on a full tank of gas...even with twins...

Not to mention not just any trailer is going to be equiped for twins with the same deadrise...Each boat trailer has to be built to specs of a particular boat it is going to carry.  Having that much weight ontop of a trailer in a certain way can damage the trailer bunks, damage the trailer, and can put stress on parts of the boat hull as well.
 
I dont know the weight of the boat either...id say probaly the boat weighs atleast 6000lbs+ without any fuel in it, Trailer another 1500lbs...Plus the boat is too wide...I think you'll need a CDL License to move this boat on land (not 100% there)...You'll atleast proper towing permits for an oversized load...I dont think Id risk it...Like I said Route 2 and 90 are polluted with state police...Just took the exact trip last weekend with my legal trailer....The raw size of a 280 Baha on a trailer is going to be a little hard for them to look past and not ask a question or two especially rolling down the highway at 60mph...
 
Id take the long boat ride....least you can see how the motors run...Weekend weather looks good for a long stroll along the Lake Erie shoreline...Take some pictures it will be a nice trip.

I'm still waiting on the call from Happy Days! They say it will be in the water and they will do a sea trial tomorrow. I just want the boat in Erie. I have 4 brandy new Canon electric's, Big Jon Mast, a quinn set of Craig Rod Holders and a triple set of Craig Rod Holders, and a new Lowrance just waitin around for there new destination! I am going to chance it and run it back. I just was being a chicken with a boat I've never heard run. It will be fine. If the water is going to be good and the boat check out it will be at the dock in Erie PA saturday or sunday.
 
I was hoping someone had a 280 with twins I could use to haul the boat back. A night trip would be trouble free!

You should call up to olcott or get hold of free spirit. A 31 footer just sank up there he might sell you his. Its 95ft. down now.
