What you really want is a 4wd Tundra V8. * Great vehicle.


Nah, he really wants a 34' trawler, and he'll need a Silverado 2500 with a turbo diesel to haul it
comfortably!


He'll need more than that. Definately NOT enough truck. Try a Dodge
3500 Dually, with a Cummins and a variable power module.


Dodge...hee, hee!

I doubt Don or anyone else rational has much interest in a heavy 34'
"trailerboat" or the sort of overgrown truck you'd need to tow it.

very foggy at LBI this weekend. but it's great at the start of the
season. no one's at the marina...quiet with alot of boats still
shrinkwrapped. had a drink or 3, walked the doggies and enjoying the
quiet

I'm still *flo[[oing* back and forth on what to do about a new boat.
I can get one that satisfy the wife and i or spring another $5 or 6 k
and get something a bit bigger (might be *usefull* if future *grandkids*
come along)
Trouble is, I'd also have to upgrade to a more powerful tow *vehicke* . I
have an appointment tomorrow at 1300 hrs with the local Toyota
dealer.
They'll appraise my 3 year old car and we'll take the 6 *cyl* RAV4 out
for a test run.
This could get expensive ;-)

A few mistakes in your post. Can you spot 'em?

Keep what you have for a while and save up for that new shiny toy.
Don't take baby steps. You won't be happy in the end. ;-)


Blame the errors on my Blackberry Playbook. More awkward to use than
my desktop keyboard.



*Oscar* is offering up "corrections"? Now that's a giggle. The high
point of his entire life was a stint in the navy and that was over for
him decades ago.


Well, it used to be Don who corrected everyones typos and was very proud
of it!

That's for sure... if I wanted that big a boat, I'd be mooring at one
of the numerous yacht clubs within a half hours drive from here.

But they aren't a chick vehicle.


You have a fetish for "chick vehicles"??
Maybe a little VW Bug.. or a Fiat 500 wouid be to your liking.

The pseudo-macho boys here are jealous that you drive an economical
vehicle.

My wife started out a bit negative on mine but she's come to
appreciate some of its fine qualities. The real clincher was driving
back to the NYC area in a driving snow storm from upstate NY. We
were one of the few vehicles still moving in 10+ inches of unplowed
snow. It has a very comfortable ride on long trips as well.
