    I've done it before without a permit but you know this is there always that opportunity to be pulled over. I had a customer arguing it should be considered oversized(had to pay). I told him it's all in the physics does in fit on the flatbed without going over well that answered that (pay up). I had a piece of equipment one time that was oversized it hung over a bit like 2 inch on each side. I tarped it so it wouldn't be so obvious. It worked like a charm. All the best on your decision ( if me no permit).

    Even if you were allowed 2 inches over....105 wide is 3 inches. For securement devices, youre allowed ( I believe) 2 inches over...... it guess it depends on who calls the cradle a securement device.....?

    That actually pretty funny lol. So after some research the oldest of posts say no. 102 is absolute max. Though looking at the actual cargo photo (boat cradle) it looks very different then say a crate being shipped having those dimensions solid walls. With the width, putting 1.5 on each side of the trailer was my thought.

    If it was a 16ft x 8´9 x 9 crate from the port solid walls 12ft up(3ft from ground to flatbed) then that would be different.
