Hi

Looking to acquire a permit a trailer for recently purchased boat 3025 kingfisher, has 9-6 beam. I need to be able to tow it home (Chilliwack) from the place of purchase Galleon marine (Richmond), and it is my understanding the boat and Trailer are slight over width and require a permit.

Please help with outlining the process, as I don’t see it in the checklist above. please keep in mind I don’t have the serial number for the trailer and I will be provided trailer insurance at the time of pickup (couple weeks from now)

  Hi there Kevin.
  
  Thanks for contacting us. here is how we can assist him with obtaining a permit. The permit would be issued to the registered owner of the truck (Ryder Truck Rentals, etc.)
  
  1. The client goes ahead and rents the truck
  2. The client then contacts the Provincial Permit Centre by calling 1-800-559-9688 choosing option 1 and then option 4 on the secondary menu.
  3. The permit he requires is a non resident permit
  4. The client may need a motive fuel permit
  5. The Permit Centre is open from 6AM to 10PM daily and we are currently on the same time zone “Pacific time zone” which helps.
  
  Hope that this helps.
