Location: Kansas City BBQ Capitol of the world | I have a Ford Ranger, 4cyl 5 speed and was restricted on what kind of boat I could get based on the towing that If I remember right was around 1600#.
I took the boat weight, trailer weight, batteries, motor, fuel, gear and saw where I was at and I was right there at max. Since I bought the boat brand new I had trailer brakes put on it and that sealed the deal. I wasn't worried about pulling it, stopping and having it push my truck was what worried me. Since I bought it I havn't had a problem. I can pull her @ 70 mph (flat grade) and stopping is not a problem at all. I didn't get the perfect boat that I wanted, but I got a good one for my situation. Not sure if the Tuffy is Fiberglass but I stayed away from fiberglass because of the weight and got a Lowe. |
