Boat, trailer, battery (or batteries), fuel, life jackets, etc... will put
this boat at 6000 lbs if not more. You really need to get it weighted at a
local truck scale to know for sure. I would hope you have a friend who has
a truck you could use for a couple of hours. You want something with a
towing capacity of 7000 or more to be able to maintain a decent speed with
it.

Since the Rendezvous equipped with the optional towing package is only rated
for 3500 lbs - Definetly not.

The extended length Trail Blazer / Envoy w/ the V8 is rated to 7000 lbs
which should work fine.

Also I am sure the Expedition, Yukon, etc.. are probably rated about the
same or more and would work fine in an SUV. Otherwise - full size pickup w/
V8 engine.

I mentioned I got a 22' crestliner this year. I need something to haul it
with ( my Chevy Caviler is NOT gonna do it).

I've tried researching on the net, but Crestliner seems to no longer make
cruisers (the boat I got is an 81)

How do I find the weight, and can someone suggest a reasonably good tow
vehicle, that will also serve for daily use around town. Given the price
of gas, millage will be a consideration. I like the looks of the Buick
Rendezvous, but is the towing capacity sufficient?
