I hope I don't get pulled over

Although from my understanding of the law, this is legal.

I'd be more afraid of the idiot not paying attention.

Ive seen people with longer wood hanging out the back with a red flag on it and good to go. You've got your red hanging so I would think you'd be good to go. But, you got some that interpret the laws differently. As stated above i'd also be afraid of the OP not paying attention.

Overhead rack would be nice.

How long is the boat?

That's a good idea. But I could buy a trailer cheaper probably. It's 14 ft.

I think he meant OP as in other people not original poster....Well let's hope he did

[miket]

I dont believe it is legal. Maybe someone else will chime in. After 3ft a flag is required, and nothing extended more than 4ft. But I may be wrong.

LOL, message board clarification. No i did not refer to the Original Poster poster as OP in this instance. OP was me referring to Other People. I apologize to TXHogHunter if he took it that way. Ha Ha the power and interpretation of acronyms.

You're good, red flag is all you need as long as they can see your tail lights.

You may have a problem with the wind dragging it out of your bed like that. I'd go upside down with the gate closed next time.

I have it tied in EXTREMELY well. I tried as hard as I could to lift/pull it out if the back, and push/ pull it out. And I could not. However I will try this next time.

You're good during the day, but not at night.
