Default Boat pull vehicle

No Its obvious, I'm not a slave to fashion, But on the road these
things will get 20-22 mpg, have reasonable performance and the same
drive train as a 1/2 ton pick up, and you can carry more than 3 people
in them.



BTW, Pulling my Chris Craft Scorpion 169 with a single axle trailer,
my old sedan got 18 mpg if I took it easy with the speed limit. 15 if
I pushed it a bit.

The 23' cuddie on a dual axle trailer ironically pulls easier. so I
expect I'll get about the same milage pulling a larger load.

One thing I've noticed is theres a lot of cute little SUVs out there
(Dodge Durango?) That don't get that kind of milage while pulling
nothing.


A fried of mine had a Durango and he gets about 15-18 mpg with it,
with no load.

He's not impressed.
