Hi,
I am Planning on buying a New boat a 2008 Crestliner 18'2 foot Superhawk boat. Right know I have a 1994 Sea Ray Fiberglass boat 17 foot boat which my explorer pulls fine. The new boat weighs 2775 lbs with trailer and is foot wider and a foot longer than my older boat. My older boat wieghs approx. 2530 so my older boat is about 250 lighter.
The New boat that I am looking at is a 2008 Crestliner Super Hawk I/0 with a 3.0 motor. I am planning on putting surge brakes on it to help it down hill.
The question I have is can my 2003 Ford Explorer v6 4.0 pull this boat. I have called Ford they state the max. trailer weight is 3500 lbs. I am also wondering if anyone has a boat like this and towed it with a Explorer.
Please let me know.
