Randall reply :

1991 Dodge Colt Vista (4cyl automatic) pulling a 16ft Basstracker with four to six group 29 batteries. Boat, trailer and batteries weigh around 1400 pounds. Pull it from one side of Atlanta to the other (Douglasville to Covington) almost daily down I-20 which is pretty flat for the most part. Most people are surprised at my choice of tow vehicles and how well it tows the boat. I do have to be real careful and not follow anyone closely in Atlanta traffic.

Tow a 17' Basstracker tx with a 50hp merc. behind a 2004 Ford F-150 5.4l auto w/ tow package.

Hopefully someday I can get a nice 20' Ranger or something that might make good use of all the ponies under the hood. As for now I'm stuck with an '83 Basstracker.

burleytog reply :

Tow vehicle is a 2000 Chevy Blazer ZR2 with auto trans.

Towing either a 16' Glasstream with a 65 hp Suzuki (I figure around 2000 lbs. total) or a Old Town Discovery 169 canoe on a Shorelandr trailer (550 lbs.).

Way2slow reply :

I've got a number of boats, the biggiest/heaviest is a 20 Javelin Renegade 20 DC with a 225 Evinrude ficht on tandom axle trailer, approx 3,500 pounds with my fishing load.

I tow with a 1998 4WD, extended cab 350 CI chevy pickup 1500, but has a heavily modified transmission and a rather large auxillary cooler.

DamnYankee reply :

You'll notice this is my first post. I've been visiting the forum for a few weeks; just seeing what's here.

I tow a 1997 Ranger SportR82 (my wife bought it for me on our anniversary). Boat, motor, and trailer weigh about 3,100 when loaded (8 fishing rods, enough gear to keep my grandchildren trying new lures and techniques, etc).

Tow vehicle is a 2005 Dodge 3/4 ton four wheel drive with a Cummins Deisel (20 plus miles per gallon to and from work; about 18 miles per gallon towing the boat). I know it's a little overkill but I always wanted a Cummins; hard to tell the boat is back there most of the time.
