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.


It's your family members that are suffering because of your bad Karma.


Is that how it works Kevin??
Tell me again about your daughter's broken arms and your wife's
serious illness.

Running at 150% of ratings is retarded stupid.

Would a real man's truck fit his driveway? It seems like he has length
