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. 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 ~~ 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! 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. |
