Do what you will, but you need a bigger truck.


I have to disagree, I think that truck is more than enough.


A 29' boat with a F-150?


Are you serious?

Yes. Remember that I " wash the trucks as they come of the
truck" ...remember?

My Astro Van can pull my 20' tank of a boat, on a twin axle trailer.
It also launches, and recovers it as well.
Are the F-150s you get in the states de-tuned or something? Put your
foot in it.


The Corsair I had I towed from the barn where I found it three miles
with a 500 cc Polaris ATV.

Same boat you have.

That's a REAL heavy boat.- Hide quoted text -

Havent weighed it yet. That would entail driving 18 miles to the only
truckstop with a public scale that I know about. Since I levelled the
tow height...you hardly know its there.Any idea what the boat and
trailer weighed that you had? Twin axle? V6 Kaiser engine?
Since I re-did the subframes and replaced the waterlogged flooring, I
bet it weighs a " few " pounds less.
