If this is your boat, says tow weight is 2542. Add any personnel stuff and
weight goes up.

You just aren't going to let it go, are you? He's legal, you can do what
you want with your boat, let him do what he wants with his.


I just want people to be able to stop their trailers when traffic stops! I
would hate to be hit by some idiot without enough brakes on the trailer or
tow vehicle. I see these tow ratings of 5000# or so one a lightweight,
underpowered tow vehicle. My S10 Blazer had that 5000# rating. It barely
stopped itself!

Donnie has convinced himself that his car will stop an extra 2000 lb or
so without the benefit of trailer brakes. I sure hope he's right for his
wife's sake and the sake of those he shares the highway with. I
personally don't care if his boat decides to come through hie rear
window. Some folks are bent on getting their education from the school of hard knocks.


If it is only 2000#, no problem. I tow with a 3/4 ton truck, and it has
little problem stopping even with no trailer brakes on a 4500# trailer.
Lost fluid due to a connector leak. Took longer than normal, but the truck
has huge brake assemblies.
