This boat was for sale on eBay before and there was a thread on here about it (if memory serves me), this guy is a pawn broker who must pawn a lot of chit.

Watch out for that truck!
That is the "old style" Chevy truck, not the current style. It has been lowered 6" and would have to be re-springed (?) before you could do any serious hauling.
Cute Chick!
Italian Boats always look great but the craftsmanship is often suspect. 550 total hours of use is a lot.

By "old style" that is the body style before the model change and was known as the GMT 400. This model was in production from 1987 until 2000. In 2001 they went to the "newer" GMT 800 on the HD and duallys. There is no comparison between the two body styles, the newer one has a completely new frame with hydroformed rails and has much more tosional stiffness and strength.
The truck pictured in the ad is fine, for stylin' and cruising. I would not trailer with a 6" lowered vehicle. You have lost almost all of your extra clearance in the fender wells and will bottom out because the springs have to be cut to get 6". This puts stress on the tires, axles and bearings when you bottom out more often. Also you are more likely t
Bottom line - I would not tow a 40' boat with that truck until it is reset to the normal ride height.
