^^^That's the way to do it mittens, buy more truck than you need. Most half ton trucks nowadays would tow that rig no problem. I bet half the time you don't know the boat's back there do you? AND you get way better fuel mileage than you would with a gas motor.

Why were you banned?

I vote for the dually. In perfect conditions less works. How about when its wet, when some jerk cuts you off, when you lose your trailer brakes. Once I felt the back end of my truck (F350, PS DRW) being pulled offline by the trailer (CAT weighed 16100#). No big deal, just a little nudge that got my attention. I don't know what would have happened if I was pulling with a SRW 3/4 T. But I am glad that I didn't have to find out.

Well its not a dooly, but it pulls the 252 like a champ. my 1500 did a good job, but this thing just does not bounce, or feal a hill.

the next boat its going to feal i am sure but should do the job. (342 hopefully)



FYI, the truck makes 593 HP, and 1005 Tq, haha cant tow like that it would **** a tranny but its pretty bad on the street. ha

the bigger the better then youll be ready for your next boat

Practicality aside, I guess it's theoretically possible to have too big a truck but I have not gotten to that point. Last weekend, at the ramp, I saw a dually pulling a Waverunner, and a Tahoe pulling a 42' Cigarette Tiger. Neither made much sense but I felt safer being on the highway with the dually / waverunner, than the guy with a Tiger on his tail.

You should rebuild your Allison. Even w/o towing it's only a matter of time before it blows under that much power. Don't believe the hype. Stock Allisons are not bulletproof in light duty diesels and can only handle about 100hp over stock.

The Tahoe guy is an idiot.

That Tiger is going to bite someone!

nice setup! Similar to mine I see.... mines a 3500 6inch Fabtech with 315's tho. Sure does ride like a **** spreader without tho boat behind it, cruises at 80 awesome. Although the 10inch alumistinger drop hitch was a tad pricey!
