    Spun a bearing

    I spun a main bearing in my 85 sundancer. I was online and found a place that says I can upgrade to a 350 with 350 horse power. That a lot over the 260 hrp that the 350 has in it now. I would like to know if it can handle it. Chris

    underpowered?

    I have a 85 250DA and Loaded with everything my 5.7 Carbed boat with an OMC Stinger Outdrive scoots across the water and planes ever fast and stays on plane. Granted it isnt as fast as my 04 Monterey 260 open bow but then again my wife never would let me go over 50 on it.

    Tow Vehicle question

    Ok so I tow my 1985 Sea Ray 250 DA with my F250 truck. Great towing vehicle but no room for my kids or the 100lb Rotty, so Im considering buying a SUV. Im wondering if a Suburban, Tahoe, type SUV will pull it? Or should I find a nice Excursion with a diesel? Or a 4dr truck?
