I mentioned I got a 22' crestliner this year. I need something to haul it
with ( my Chevy Caviler is NOT gonna do it).

I've tried researching on the net, but Crestliner seems to no longer make
cruisers (the boat I got is an 81)

How do I find the weight, and can someone suggest a reasonably good tow
vehicle, that will also serve for daily use around town. Given the price
of gas, millage will be a consideration. I like the looks of the Buick
Rendezvous, but is the towing capacity sufficient?

Head over to the library research area and get a copy of BUC for 1981
boats. The information should be listed there under the Crestliner boat
section.

If not try http://www.buc.com/



BTW: Dry weight, as some boat manufacturers us, is far different than
actual weight (fuel, water, batteries, gear).

As Tony suggested, take the boat (fully loaded) and trailer to a weigh
station for an accurate weight. Use that as a benchmark for a towing
capacity of the vehicle you will be towing the boat with.
