Second, the overall profile of the 2252 makes it easier to tow at
interstate speeds.


I don't tow at "interstate" speeds. I tow between 55 and 60 mph. Easier
on me, easier on the trucks, easier on the fuel tank.


That's right. When I towed my 'new to me' sailboat back 1200 km from
Quebec I stayed at 90km. This was no problem on divided 4 lane
highways, but in some areas of the Trans Canada it was old fashioned two
lane blacktop. Very uncomfortable to see an 18 wheeler grill filling
your rearview mirror as he desperately tries to pass on rough busy road

I tow at freeway speeds. But the limit is 55 in California, and they
seem to ignore 65 on the freeway, as everybody is averaging 10 over
anyway. I drive to Los Angeles at about 80. Truck runs good there, gets
good milage, and sort of like SS Tom, I love speed.


I got tired of towing after just 2 months of it. The boat goes in the
water at a dock from now on.


Too many different waters I like. is about 45 miles to Pillar Point Harbor
for salmon and crabs. 20 miles to SF Bay at San Leandro for stripers /
sharks / sturgeon. 40 miles to the Sacramento Delta for Black Bass '
stripers / sturgeon. 120 miles to Cherry Lake by Yosemite for camping and
skiing and hiking. and the rivers I like to run at about 130 miles.
