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

That would be crazy big for our use 95 percent of the time.

It would be mandatory the other 5% of the time. That's the downside to
trailer boating.

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.

I liked the Tundra until they upsized them about 6 years ago.
The Tacoma would be more practical if they would raise the cab roof
and windshield about 3 inches

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 ;-)

You haven't come close to expensive. Try a $50,000 vessel and a tow
vehicle to match and that's nothing in the boating world!

Buy a Chev pickup, and be done with it.
