My contractor has a 04 CC and was telling me he saw some one towing a huge race boat with trip outboards the other day. I will be towing my 23 foot walk around soon and hope it goes well. Scotty.

 

Yeah, just hope he makes it out of the boat launch okay Towing around a big boat is one thing, dropping it in the water and pulling it back out safely is another

 

Boats don't really weight a lot for the volume of air they take up.

Take a real close look at the compact/mid sized vehicles towing U-Haul trailers. Those things are packed to the gills and usually weight more than you average boat does.

I towed a 6000lb u-haul from Sea-Indy, and Indy-Sea, and did fine. I've also towed a few boat out of the harbor and it really is a lot easier than you would imagine.

The AVERAGE 24' powerboat weighs in at around 5000lbs. And a sailboat of the same length is a mere 4000lbs.

 

Thanks for the weight information. Good to know but I wish I had been in a situation I could have taken a picture. My first thought was it was a Titan until I got close. My buddy whom I was riding with & his wife tow a fifth wheel with his 3/4 ton Silverado was surprised as well. Tomorrow we are riding to Key West so maybe I will see him again. Have a good night.

Maddog:fantastic:

 

This is the biggest boat Ive ever towed, a 27' bayliner Buccaneer

 

I also have to worry about these things called hills here in Taxachusettes. The two years I spent shrimping and scuba diving in FL I don't recall too many steep grades, well there were a couple of bumps around ocala.
