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?

How about calling Crestliner here in Minnesota? You might be surprised
at how helpfull they would be.

My guess is you will need at least 5000 lb of capacity, which means
pickup or SUV type vehicle.
