One of the idiots here
claimed he towed at 70 mph+.

That is almost expected on I-40 west of Wilmington, NC.... otherwise
you'll get run over.


Same in SWFL. Harry could tow at 70+ also if he had his trailer set
up properly and extracted his head from the nether regions of his
copious body.



Uh...my trailer is properly set up. It's a custom trailer and was "set
up" properly from the factory specifically for my Parker *AND* the
Parker dealer, whose mechanics have forgotten more about boat trailers
than you will ever know, tweaked it a bit, too.

I tow at 55-62 mph, max, for a number reasons:

1. The slower tow speed is safer.

2. It burns less gas and is easier on my tow vehicle.

3. I prefer towing at the speeds I tow.


Now, W'hine, why don't you stick your head back up your ass, where it
obviously belongs.
