towing

I have been slowly getting into boating and some people have warned me that the seat cushions could blow out of the boat while it's on the trailer going down the road. I was told to put them in my truck while traveling. It takes up a lot of room in my Jeep and is kind of a hassle on me too. I...

New member here and looking for some input on the 85 sedan bridge 300. I just sold my Grady seafarer and now am looking at buying an 85 sedan bridge. The question is can this boat be trailered? I know I am legal in Length and width. I have a 3500 Dodge Ram diesel with upgraded springs and air...

I generally close off the windbreak partition below the windscreen on my 20' bowrider when placing the two snap-on tonneau covers before towing. Yesterday, I left it open and the main tarp started flying loose on the road. There were other possible factors. I am back to my theory that the...

I am going to be towing my '98 270DA from Madiosn,WI down to Dallas,TX this weekend and this is the first time I'm going to be towing it more than a mile. I'm having my marina make sure my trailer is ready and I know I need new transom straps, but the only ones I've seen are the BoatBuckle ones...

Does anyone know if Sea Tow is still operating in Lake Erie? I have used them since 2004 - first with Sea Tow Cleveland and then with Sea Tow Port Clinton. However, I just looked at their website and their location finder does not show any Sea Town captains within 100 miles of Port Clinton and...

I am looking for a new vehicle and want to be sure it can tow my 2006 Sundeck (4,500 lbs + 700 lbs trailer = 5,200 lbs). A 2014 Chev Traverse with AWD has a maximum tow capacity of, you guessed it, 5200 lbs. My concern is when taking it out of the water will it have the torque to get it up a...

Greetings CSR (first post). I am currently looking at a 1998 Searay 240 which has a published dry weight of 4,300 lbs. This seems rather low to me and I am wondering what a realistic towed weight would be with her sitting on an aluminum trailer. Currently have a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 that can tow...

Hey all. Boat is stored for the winter already. And im having a heck of a time figuring out the total weight of boat and trailer. Might be selling pickup if wife's SUV can handle. I have a 1989 sea ray 200br with single axle shorelander roller. Im 2nd owner of the setup. Trailer was purchased...

Hello CSR. My wife and I recently purchased a 97' 230 BR. I have been borrowing my Father's Diesel truck to tow but it has become cumbersome. I personally have a 04' Nissan Frontier V6-2wd 4-door, which is supposed to tow up to 5k lbs. It tows my 180br with no problems. The 230 trailer is dual...
