I was pretty well settled on a new 'Legend 15 AllSport' due to my 4
cyl RAV4's low tow rating of 1500 lbs.
Lately I've been looking at the construction methods used in this
model and the superior methods used in a higher class boat... the
'Legend 16 Xcalibre'
For an additional $3400. + add'l taxes of about $500., I can upgrade
to a bigger, heavier boat with a 50hp 4 stroke Mercury vs the 40hp I
was planning on with the smaller boat.
Besides the additional cost of about $3900... I would be overloading
my tow capacity by 500 lbs... about 33% more than the RAV4 is rated
for.
i.e 2000 lbs vs about 1300 for the smaller boat.
What to do?
I can drop a few pounds by keeping the gas tank empty until I reach my
destination.. and not loading much into the bigger boat... and by
towing at a 90km speed (55 mph). Am I asking for trouble... sure do
like all the extra options.. such as bigger motor, stronger
construction, bigger boat for about 80% use on the ocean, instruments
and a built in swim platform/ladder.
see the windshield models on the website..

Pulling a load of over 150% of your rated capacity would be simply stupid. Hard to believe you asked
the question.
Let him go, he already knows the results of bad Karma!
At least I haven't been run out of my home province by family members,
kevin.
Disowned then?

Running at 150% of ratings is retarded stupid.

Why drive this on-topic thread into a political ****storm?

Donnie sometimes tries to show he can be sociable. But, I think he realizes that Harry doesn't
approve, so he reverts back to his display of anti-social, immature,assholish behavior so Harry
won't leave him.

Damn shame.

Why do you bother to darken the door of this newsgroup? You obviously
have no real interest in boating.
Thank God you'll soon be off fondling little white balls.



He's got a new oversized travel trailer to tow behind his oversized
truck. It's possible he'll drive right off the edge of the flat earth he
and others of his extremist right-wing politics so admire.

Oh, Harry...this isn't oversized:

It comfortably sleeps four. Actually, it's a little on the small side once the grandkids are thrown
in. Luckily, they mostly prefer tents anyway.

And, it takes one of these:

to comfortably pull it.

Nothing oversized anywhere!

Now, how big is that humongous trawler of yours? You know, the new one with the twin turbo diesels
that you've taken ALL THE WAY across the Chesapeake Bay!


I don't trailer it, Herring.
And she's tasted blue water more than once.

Hee, hee!

Has he offered you a ride yet?

On what, his Toyota?
