Safari tow vehicle
This will show my age -
Pulled my '71 Safari that had a 3.0 Mercruiser with a Toyota Hi Lux pick up that had an R-18 engine (I think) with a 4 speed manual tranny. Used the Fort Desoto ramp whenever I could because you can back down on a long angle across one of the ramps and turn the trailer perpendicular to the shore line when the wheels go in. Then you can just pull out "across" the ramp and not straight up which was hard on everything. The rig was real "spooky" in the rain. Jack-knifed it one day in the rain and ordered a brand new F-100 step-side with a 300 CI six and a 5 speed OD gear box. Marsha was OK with that - I was in Heaven.
