Bean, I'd think (never measured it) trailer is 8.5' wide, could be 9' ...beam on V-20 is 8' and my fenders are a little wider...if ya want to stay w/ Jeep, get the biggest V-8 they offer w/ a tow-package ... I-26 and I-85 have some long grades to pull at speed ...
Here's the ski-pole

and here's the bait-tank

Lake Hartwell Fishing & Marine (off exit 14) stocks this tank...you shouldn't need bigger than the 20 gal as they're very efficient and will keep 4-5 doz herring well...
Good luck and let us know how it goes... :D ...
As far as findin' a V-20 in the Upstate, you'd best watch this board and be ready to do a little travelin' ...some good "ready-to-splash" boats and some good "project" boats are here from time to time ... gonna depend on what ya want and what ya gonna spend...I know where's one at Lake Murray, but I don't know what you're lookin' for...
