    How much can a Tahoe handle?

    Hello everyone, I am just wondering if anyone here has used a Chevy Tahoe as a tow vehicle? We have a 1988 Sea Ray 250 and looking to down size my tow vehicle. Just not sure what the Tahoe can handle in the real world. I am looking for some feed back. Hope to hear from some. Have a great day.

    Anyone in the N. Alabama area?

    I agree with you, the Gulf Coast is the place. We have never been to Orange Beach. We drove through that area a couple of years ago on the way back from Panama City Beach. We are looking forward to getting the boat in the Fl waters. How does your boat handle the rough water? Our boat is an 1988...

    Side panel reupholstery

    Thank you for the response, I had found the two 1/4" bolts on either end but I was not sure what was holding the middle part of the pad. So I should just remove the two nuts and then will the panal just slide out or what? I really appreciate the help.
