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.

Disowned then?

Running at 150% of ratings is retarded stupid.

Speaking of stupid...did you watch that Conservative Senator get
bitchslapped by Liberal MP Justin Trudeau?
It was like an early Easter present. *~~ snerk ~~

What the hell does the political **** have to do with your boat question?

~~snerk~~

It was a 'sporting event'... just like boating could be considered
sporting.
Your recipe parties... not so much.

Harry will be proud of you, Donnie.
