- When transporting a boat in Kansas the hours of operation are regulated. Generally the hours of operation are one half hour before sunrise to one half hour after sunset.
- Any boat over 8’6” wide must have a permit issued by the state. Keep in mind that some cities and metropolitan areas may require additional permits.
- On all highways fewer than 4 lanes two escorts are required on loads greater than 14’ wide
- On highways consisting of 4 lanes or more a rear escort is required for super loads. All other types of loads shall not require escorting
- Any load that can be reduced to legal, 13’6”, must be done so prior to transport.
