Re: Trailering
RC,
I am down the road from you on sr434 and I trailer 1-2 times a week to both the east and west coast with a 23 Scepter. Trailering isn't a problem, but get a real good alum. double axle trailer with good brakes and balance. I had mine custom made for my boat, (2,600 new), and it tows like a dream. The older 20 or 23 foot boats are just too big and heavy for a single axle trailer. As far a tow vehicle, I use an '89 suburban w/350 efi. The Explorer would probably do fine with the 20' and less than a 1/2 tank of gas, but I think you might have some difficulties with a full rigged and gased 23. Maybe someone else can speak for the explorer's towing capabilities. The good news is there are not a whole lot of hills in our neck of the woods.
Good Luck.
