    Starting problems

    My boat does not always start when the key is turned. Sometimes it will fire right up and other times i have to turn the key back and forth a couple of times to get it to fire. Is this a bad starter solenoid or ignition switch?

    will this truck pull this boat?

    I have a 1998 GMC Sonoma 2WD with a 4.3 motor and an extended cab. Will this truck pull a 18 ft. boat with a dry weight of around 2500 pounds? I am worried about it pulling it up the ramp.
