What a nice boat to compliment my Princecraft Yukon.
If it had a swing keel, I'd already be on the road.

Pinky can not pull it safely.


I could trade my 4 cyl RAV4 in for a 6 cyl version.
That can pull 3500 lbs....mmmm all of a sudden this is getting expensive.



Or get a proper towing vehicle instead of a chick-mobile.

The maximum drawbar pull is direct proportional to tow vehicle weight,
of interest mostly when trying to get up a steep and slimy ramp.
That's where 4wd and low range come in handy. My 1850 dry weight
fish/ski sterndrive is too much for a friends Ford Ranger. We now have
a Lincoln Navigator, which is reallly a truck, and rides like one.
Heavier than the boat and trailer. The 300 hp four cam motor is
overkill.
