Re: What do you pull your boat with?

cool a hi-lo camper? do u like it?

We love it & use it close to every other month. It isn't actually a Hi-LO (they went out of business this year) though it is a TrailManor 3023. It is so light & aerodynamic it only cost us around 2 GPM on trips.

We may cut back on trips next year due to new boat not sure.

Get a few people telling us we don't have enough automobile. But it pulls it up a boat ramp like a champ. :)

Im towing my 211 liberator with a 96 chevy astro 4.3
Haven't had a chance to launch the boat yet. It tows it great but we'll have to see how it does when I go to pull it out of the water.

Saab 9-7x with the 4.2 inline six tows my 3200# boat on a dual axle trailer. The launch ramps close to our cabin are all gravel so the AWD and ground clearance help. Most of the time it's a grocery getter so the small size and tight turn circle are very helpful. Ir can run on cruise control over any of the mountain passes we cross.

Pull my 89 maxum (looks just like your boat, same fading red too!) with a 99 dodge ram 318v8. It's a DOG!!! Truck weighs around 5000 lbs, so i dont think there is much power left to pull the boat too. But we make do with what we have, right? As long as your car still stops ok thats what i would worry about.

There is a lot of "pride of ownership" in these pics.

I have a 2011 Kia Sorento (Bought 1-2010). It has a little over 10,000 miles on it with no problems. How has your experience been with yours???
