Welcome.

I towed my 18' starcraft home from MN to TN with my little vw sportwagen. Looked about the same.

I find it interesting how when hooked up, the boat dwarfs the size of the tow vehicle. The Subaru towed the Sylvan with no issues. Kept off the interstate most of the was and kept it below 65 most of the time. Of course braking was a little more noticeable but nothing to worry about.

Yep and im 60ish so I remember the days when no one used a truck which now is mandatory. I do have a truck and I do use sometimes but I love the looks I get when pulling into the ramp with the sportwagen. People walk up and say wth...

I did add airbags to the rear coils but I also do handyman work out it it and all my ryobi tools, cheerleaders and batteries and a two drawer storage system adds about 300 lbs to the back. Im about to retire and all that stuff will be offloaded.

You keep cheerleaders in the back of your sport wagon???? Are they from a specific team, or are they your own personal cheerleaders to encourage you when working? “Go, Joe! Go!” LOL!

 

[redneck joe]

Ha, dam autocorrect with that swipe thing on the keyboard to complete words. But if I did keep cheerleaders back there....

Maybe move this from issues page to dockside?

If it goes to dock side it will get buried and lost. This is a sticky and has been in same location since 2016.

 

[redneck joe]

Umm,,, it's a sticky there why not sticky in dockside?

It's on Iboats Forum "and" website issues
This is where new members would come to find out things about the Forum (how to do things) , so it's in the right spot.

 

[redneck joe]

OK in my reading im doing (website and forum) 'issues'. I guess since no website anymore it doesn't matter but when im poking around a new forum I don't go to the issues forum to get a feel or introduce myself, I go to a dockside or off topic one.


I'll drop it now as my opinion is worth exactly what yall pay for it.
