Re: 1978 SeaCraft 23 open
Ryank,
I have this exact boat & trailer. I figure my weight right at 5,000 pounds. I tow her with a 2001 GMC with a 5.3 Vortec and (most important) a factory trailering package. The tow/haul button is teriffic.
I have also pulled it with our 1998 Safari V6 mini-van rated at 5,000 pounds and it pulls it reluctantly. My consern is always the oil and transmission temperatures.
I recommend a full size truck with 275 HP or more. I love towing a boat. The right tow vehicle is everything.
