Oh, and watch how he reacts to this.. He will threaten to put out more info, and put out more info he feels will "get to" me, like the fact that I was adopted. Something I am not only, not ashamed of, but proud of and always have been, even in the 60's. But you can judge for yourself now that he has come back, nothing learned, nothing changed on his end... He came back a few weeks ago, shooting, and it was obvious he was here for nothing else, just like harry... |

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 $3900... I would be overloading my tow capacity by 500 lbs... about 33% more than the RAV4 is rated for. i.e 2000 lbs vs about 1300 for the smaller boat. What to do? I can drop a few pounds by keeping the gas tank empty until I reach my destination.. and not loading much into the bigger boat... and by towing at a 90km speed (55 mph). Am I asking for trouble... sure do like all the extra options.. such as bigger motor, stronger construction, bigger boat for about 80% use on the ocean, instruments and a built in swim platform/ladder. see the windshield models on the website.. http://legendboats.com/ Pulling a load of over 150% of your rated capacity would be simply stupid. Hard to believe you asked the question. What the %$^&^%? I thought you claimed to be a math teacher? I figure it as roughly 133% Multiply 1300 times 1.50 (150%) and see what you get. 1st you have to tell me where the 1300 figure comes from. Never mind...I see you took the 15 AllSport's weight to be my vehicle's tow rating... it's not! The 4 cyl RAV4 is rated for 1500 lbs. At this point i have the local dealer saying no.. I can't handle the bigger boat and a rep from the manufacturers site saying that people he knows are doing it. If I remember correctly... a safe tow is actually only 80% of your vehicle's rating... that would be a puny 1200 lbs. Guess I should have purchased the V6 version of the RAV4.... mmm wonder what deals Toyota is offering these days. I have about 20K on my 3 year old 'truck' .... might be time to trade up. Moving up to a used V6 Highlander might be the way to go. Towing capacity's up around 3500lbs, I believe. Probably get a decent trade-in. With gas prices where they are you'd probably get a pretty decent price for the Rav4. 5000# with the towing package: http://trailerboats.com/towrating/in...x_tlimit=10000 "That wasn't around when my wife got her Highlander. It appears as though an optional towing package raises the tow rating to 5000lbs. Here is what the tow package contains: V6 Towing Prep Package [14] -- includes 5000-lb. towing capacity, heavy-duty radiator with engine oil cooler, 200-watt fan coupling, supplemental transmission oil cooler and 150-amp alternator/ That sounds pretty good, but it doesn't do much to help braking. I'd be afraid of getting shoved down the road by my trailer if I had 5000lbs pushing me. Of course, trailer brakes would be mandatory at that weight, but I wouldn't trust those buggers a whole lot either. 5000# isn't that much in the towing world. The trailer brakes are assumed to be working, I'm sure. You're correct. But, the Highlander isn't much in the 'tower' world either! I can't see that the tow package has done much to really improve the handling characteristics of the Highlander. And, if one is willing to tow 130% of capacity, how much time do you think the fool would spend keeping the trailer brakes in working order? That would be insane. Considering the high speeds at which I've seen drivers towing huge boats and travel trailers down the Interstate, I wonder whether brake condition will be much of a factor in stopping. They aren't likely to stop before they smash into the cars in front of them. Never heard of trailer brakes, eh? |
