Looking to purchase our first boat and found a Sea Ray 182 my wife and I like. Originally we were looking at a 18' Bayliner.
My question is this, towing capacity for the Pilot is 4500 max with four passengers. The Sea Ray is 2650 plus about 150 in fuel and the trailer (1000?). So about 3800 lbs. Would you consider this in the safe parameters or should I stick to the 500 lb lighter Bayliner?
If it matters, the lake is 15 minutes away. Pilot has the tow package. I have no intentions of replacing the Pilot as it's great for what we need 95% of the time.
Your input is appreciated.
