I was pretty well settled on a new 'Legend 15 AllSport' due

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.
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.

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...ch&yr=2012&mak...


"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.


I have always looked at those folks, the same way I would somebody
holding a gun to my kids head... Just sayin'.


Do you threaten to kill each& every one of them too?
You must be a good example for the kiddies.


Is this what you live for... Mom must have been so proud of her little
weasel...

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...

I realize time and reality don't mean much to you, but the exposing of

If you are so ashamed of your financial irresponsible behavior. Why

I recommend a haircut and a job. You'd feel much better about yourself.

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 $3900... I would be
overloading
my tow capacity by 500 lbs... about 33% more than the
RAV4 is
rated
for.
i.e 2000 lbs vs about 1300 for the smaller boat.
What to do?
I can drop a few pounds by keeping the gas tank empty
until I
reach my
destination.. and not loading much into the bigger
boat...
and by
towing at a 90km speed (55 mph). Am I asking for
trouble...
sure do
like all the extra options.. such as bigger motor,
stronger
construction, bigger boat for about 80% use on the ocean,
instruments
and a built in swim platform/ladder.
see the windshield models on the website..
http://legendboats.com/
Pulling a load of over 150% of your rated capacity
would be
simply stupid. Hard to believe you asked
the question.
What the %$^&^%?
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.
I frequently see people towing as much as 400% to 500% of
vehicle
rating, but that is very FLAT land with no curves or stops and
the tow
does not exceed ONE mile. There are other ramp issues and the
ability
to see the tow when turning, too....
A normal tow usage would be up to the manufacturers rating, but
not
over. The further under the manufacturers rating the easier the
tow.
General towing at 133% or 150% would be suicide and would
likely
result in a citation for careless and reckless, etc.
Get a REAL tow vehicle and protect yourself, your family, and
others.
Insurance may not cover you in the event of an accident. If
someone was
killed as a result of this negligence, it would be costly.
If it was my family member, it would cost him his life...
Are you threatening to 'kill someone', MidgetMan?
Might be time to update the South Windsor Police to your
criminally
insane activities.
What are YOU reading? There was no specific "someone" mentioned.

The cops here are aware of his history of stalking and false
accusations... I could tell they were annoyed at him last time he
made
them come here. Harry is a coward, seeking attention, then when he
gets
it he cries like his drunken dad had him bent over a work bench
again...

You DID say that "it would cost him his life". Threats of killing
someone, regardless whether it is a specific person or not should and
usually are taken very seriously by law enforcement.

So call the cops Kevin... be a good donnie...


Wow. Our own little Leporello made it through another night. It's good,
Snotty, that "the internets" allow a useless, worthless little ****
like
you to shoot off your mouth without much fear of being forced to pay a
price for it.



Whatever Harry, keep trolling, someday you will get your chance to shoot
someone. Just hope it ain't some kid walking down the street...



I'm not an out-of-control, hate-mongering, right-wing asshole like
you, Snotty, so there is no chance I'll shoot someone walking down the
street. Now, if an out-of-control, hate-mongering, right-wing asshole
*broke* *into* *the* *house*, I'd not hesitate to empty a magazine
into him. You should remember that.

A tough talker. They are a dime a dozen.

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.

Speaking of stupid...did you watch that Conservative Senator get

It was like an early Easter present. ~~ snerk ~~
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:
http://images.traderonline.com/img/3...mb_550x410.jpg

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:
http://l.yimg.com/dv/aic/chevrolet_t...ndard_box_2009

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!


He's either jealous or a narcissist.

Nice rigs - both of them!

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.
I frequently see people towing as much as 400% to 500% of
vehicle
rating, but that is very FLAT land with no curves or stops and
the tow
does not exceed ONE mile. There are other ramp issues and the
ability
to see the tow when turning, too....
A normal tow usage would be up to the manufacturers rating, but
not
over. The further under the manufacturers rating the easier the
tow.
General towing at 133% or 150% would be suicide and would
likely
result in a citation for careless and reckless, etc.
Get a REAL tow vehicle and protect yourself, your family, and
others.
Insurance may not cover you in the event of an accident. If
someone was
killed as a result of this negligence, it would be costly.
If it was my family member, it would cost him his life...
Are you threatening to 'kill someone', MidgetMan?
Might be time to update the South Windsor Police to your
criminally
insane activities.
What are YOU reading? There was no specific "someone" mentioned.

The cops here are aware of his history of stalking and false
accusations... I could tell they were annoyed at him last time he
made
them come here. Harry is a coward, seeking attention, then when he
gets
it he cries like his drunken dad had him bent over a work bench
again...

You DID say that "it would cost him his life". Threats of killing
someone, regardless whether it is a specific person or not should and
usually are taken very seriously by law enforcement.

So call the cops Kevin... be a good donnie...


Wow. Our own little Leporello made it through another night. It's good,
Snotty, that "the internets" allow a useless, worthless little ****
like
you to shoot off your mouth without much fear of being forced to pay a
price for it.



Whatever Harry, keep trolling, someday you will get your chance to shoot
someone. Just hope it ain't some kid walking down the street...



I'm not an out-of-control, hate-mongering, right-wing asshole like
you, Snotty, so there is no chance I'll shoot someone walking down the
street. Now, if an out-of-control, hate-mongering, right-wing asshole
*broke* *into* *the* *house*, I'd not hesitate to empty a magazine
into him. You should remember that.


A tough talker. They are a dime a dozen.


He's all talk... He's trying to get me to say something again, so he can
call the cops again. Must be getting bored with his life. I am still
passing these unsolicited trolls to his friends down there, if he ever
does kill somebody, he won't get away with it...

Damn shame.

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:
http://images.traderonline.com/img/3...mb_550x410.jpg


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:
http://l.yimg.com/dv/aic/chevrolet_t...ndard_box_2009


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!


He's either jealous or a narcissist.

Nice rigs - both of them!



Jealous of a racist with a big truck and a travel trailer? Why?

I can drop a few pounds by keeping the gas tank empty until

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

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

Disowned then?
Running at 150% of ratings is retarded stupid.

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:
http://images.traderonline.com/img/3...mb_550x410.jpg



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:
http://l.yimg.com/dv/aic/chevrolet_t...ndard_box_2009



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!


He's either jealous or a narcissist.

Nice rigs - both of them!



Jealous of a racist with a big truck and a travel trailer? Why?


Because he has a better boat and a better tow vehicle. Not to mention a
better life like most of us you hate here...

Sorry, Little Toad, but I'm not impressed by Herring's truck, travel
trailer or boat, or, in fact, anything about him. As for his life, he
doesn't seem to do anything of consequence in his retirement. Boring.

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.
I frequently see people towing as much as 400% to 500% of
vehicle
rating, but that is very FLAT land with no curves or stops and
the tow
does not exceed ONE mile. There are other ramp issues and the
ability
to see the tow when turning, too....
A normal tow usage would be up to the manufacturers rating, but
not
over. The further under the manufacturers rating the easier the
tow.
General towing at 133% or 150% would be suicide and would
likely
result in a citation for careless and reckless, etc.
Get a REAL tow vehicle and protect yourself, your family, and
others.
Insurance may not cover you in the event of an accident. If
someone was
killed as a result of this negligence, it would be costly.
If it was my family member, it would cost him his life...
Are you threatening to 'kill someone', MidgetMan?
Might be time to update the South Windsor Police to your
criminally
insane activities.
What are YOU reading? There was no specific "someone" mentioned.


The cops here are aware of his history of stalking and false
accusations... I could tell they were annoyed at him last time he
made
them come here. Harry is a coward, seeking attention, then when he
gets
it he cries like his drunken dad had him bent over a work bench
again...


You DID say that "it would cost him his life". Threats of killing
someone, regardless whether it is a specific person or not should and
usually are taken very seriously by law enforcement.


So call the cops Kevin... be a good donnie...


Wow. Our own little Leporello made it through another night. It's good,
Snotty, that "the internets" allow a useless, worthless little ****
like
you to shoot off your mouth without much fear of being forced to pay a
price for it.


Whatever Harry, keep trolling, someday you will get your chance to shoot
someone. Just hope it ain't some kid walking down the street...


I'm not an out-of-control, hate-mongering, right-wing asshole like
you, Snotty, so there is no chance I'll shoot someone walking down the
street. Now, if an out-of-control, hate-mongering, right-wing asshole
*broke* *into* *the* *house*, I'd not hesitate to empty a magazine
into him. You should remember that.
A tough talker. They are a dime a dozen.


He's all talk... He's trying to get me to say something again, so he can
call the cops again. Must be getting bored with his life. I am still
passing these unsolicited trolls to his friends down there, if he ever
does kill somebody, he won't get away with it...


It sure doesn't take much to get a criminally insane wacko like you to
say anything to incriminate yourself... the challenge is to get you to
shut up.


Keep tryin' bonnie, hope your gettin' paid. Hey, when your mom died,
were you with her, or here whacking off to harry?


Thanks for proving me right.... Once again.
