Enclosed cargo trailer would be best, but expensive. To save cost but still get the job done, I'd probably go for a tandem-axle flat-bed equipment trailer, like this one:
http://www.bigtextrailers.com/10et-p...-axle-utility/


Floor is 83" wide. My 2015 Yamaha gasoline-powered GolfCar would go on sideways with the tires firmly on the bed, but with the bumpers hanging over by a few inches. The golf car overall length is exactly 96" (8 feet) long, so when centered you would have 6.5" of bumpers sticking out the front sides = about the same as the trailer fenders. You would need to add a 4x8' sheet of 3/4" plywood as a front air dam, braced with a 2x4 at least a foot or so back from the front of the trailer. Make the brace vertical, with another 2x4 across the top, with the plywood slanting back that foot or so and screwed to the top of the 2x4 brace frame.


That 4x8 sheet of plywood would make a dam almost 4' tall. If you wanted to make it taller, it would require another sheet of plywood, but I wouldn't make it more than 6' tall. I tow my golf car about 100 miles to the nearest dealer in a box trailer with front and sides 4' tall. No need for a taller front air dam, but then my golf car is facing forward, not sideways.


My golf car is 48" wide, so add another foot for the front air dam and that makes at least 5 feet subtracted from the trailer bed length. I would allow 5.5'. With a 16' trailer floor, that leaves over 10' for the length of the Hawg. If your Hawg is longer than 10', then they make that same trailer in 18' and 20' lengths.
