I have to agree with you Bill. My buddy has an X-30 (~22ft) that doesn't
quite hit 5000# with gas.

Boat, trailer, battery (or batteries), fuel, life jackets, etc... will
put
this boat at 6000 lbs if not more. You really need to get it weighted at
a
local truck scale to know for sure. I would hope you have a friend who
has
a truck you could use for a couple of hours. You want something with a
towing capacity of 7000 or more to be able to maintain a decent speed
with
it.

Since the Rendezvous equipped with the optional towing package is only
rated
for 3500 lbs - Definetly not.

The extended length Trail Blazer / Envoy w/ the V8 is rated to 7000 lbs
which should work fine.

Also I am sure the Expedition, Yukon, etc.. are probably rated about the
same or more and would work fine in an SUV. Otherwise - full size pickup
w/
V8 engine.

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?



I doubt it is that heavy. Probably more in the 4500# range. My 21'
Inboard
aluminum jetboat (0.190 thick metal) weighs in about #4400 on the trailer
with 67 gallons of gas and fishing gear.
