Thx, Jim

I'm doing the same math with mine. I have a 20 sceptre 1978 hull that I think weighs 1400 pounds now plus 400 motor so it's 1800, plus trailer 800= 2600 total weight. My 2012 Toyota Tacoma reg cab 4wd with 2.7 4 Cylinder is rated at 3500 but it's not a real truck.
But I'm used to Chevy diesels which tow and stop like the boat/trailers not even there so I don't have much faith in my Toyota Taco but I'm going to try it.
