I've trailered the Parker. I have a first-class alum trailer with stainless disk brakes and torsion bar axles. The rig tows beautifully. I just don't like to waste my time trailering boats any distances. I'm sure that Parker is a fine boat. The towability issues are over its high boxy cabin, total weight, and width. The Grady would be far easier to tow. None of those dimensions present a problem if you are towing with the proper vehicle and know what you are doing. I've towed my Parker a bit, and had no difficulties doing it safely. I just don't like wasting time towing boats. I'm using a 2005 Silverado w/tow package. I know the Parker would present more towing problems than that particular Grady for the Silverado. You just can't underestimate the three problem areas mentioned when towing distances. What are you using for a tow vehicle that would mitigate these problems, Harry? I suspect a truck large enough would present additional problems of its own. -- Skipper |
