If you want to do it comfortably (and safely), either a 1/2 ton P/U or full-size SUV will do the trick. But if you only need a tow vehicle for short runs and/or the spring drop-in/fall haul-out, you can make due with a mid-size SUV. My father always kept his Sceptre at a slip, so we only needed to haul his boat a couple times a year over 6-7 miles of back roads. Over the 14 years he had it, we towed it with a '00 S10 Blazer 4.3L V6 (I don't recommend this), a '00 F150 extended cab 5.4L V8, a '98 F150 reg cab short bed 4.6L V8 and a '03 Ram reg cab short bed 4.7L V8. Of all of those vehicles, my F150 5.4 did the best job out of the lot mainly due to the larger motor but also because of the longer wheelbase.

Entourage,

That's the nicest lobster boat on the water as far as I'm concerned.

The fastest too. You would have no problem winning the lobster boat races around here.

It's good that you trailer her cuz it would be a real shame if she broke off a mooring and drifted across to Nova Scotia... :D

Thanks in advance.
