Older SRV210 on tandem axle w surge brakes. Tow rig is my 2000 Expy EB 4x4 w 5.4 v8 w factory tow package.
Boat weight is specd at 3430 dry w 228 mercruiser. This one has a 350 mercruiser so calculated 3500lbs for boat. Total weight I’m figuring 5000lbs w trailer.
My truck is excellent condition w all maintenance more than up to date. I plan on tranny and coolant flush prior to trip.
Trucks tow rating is +/- 8000lbs. I’m deducting 20% for mileage so let’s say 6400lbs tow capacity.
Have spare for trailer. It has 5 new tires and new light kit.
Any thoughts/advice? Thank you.
