Hey Scout

The CG should have bought your "Seacraft to tow the TRUCK" back to Cuba not sink it! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Yugo GV with tow package and reinforced transom (in Yugo that is, to deal with being overrun by 23' boat at the stop light). If vehicle gets wrecked, simply buy another one for less than a new t-top.

Amen, Brother!

Otto,

That particular one would almost match the color of your boat as well! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] A matched set would definitely get rave reviews at the ramp [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Captn Chuck......Hands down thats the best picture I have seen. I tow mine with a 2003 f350 4x4 duallie with a v10 and I thought I was big..Maybe I should get a camper in the bed.

Re: Tow Vehicle for a Seacraft 23CC
 

Get the 4X4 you will never regret the decision. I have the same truck as Scott w/5.4 Lariat package and it pulls my 20 ft. boat like it isn't even there, when the ramp gets dicey I pull the lever and just keep on truckin'. I agree with the earlier comment that full size boat needs a full size tow vehicle. The other thing most don't think about is stopping the whole rig in time, Toyota Tundra will pull it fine but will it stop it in time?? I have 4-wheel disc brakes and 4-wheel discs on the trailer, when the trailer brakes needed replacing I could tell there was a significant difference in stopping distance.

Take it back Scout, take it back......I live in Miami and I ONLY drive like an idiot when I have to......

2 Boat Bill,
If you really want to know why you should get a full size truck with 4WD, come and sit on a busy Sunday at the ramp I use and see just how many of those 2WD vehicles go swimming!!!!!

2000 F150 Extended Cab 4X4 5.4 with the 7700 package, towing a Concept 23 and occasionally a 24 Grady. I don't slip, ever. For the extra money, you will never have to explain to the insurance company how the truck went swimming. Just my opinion....
