Nice rig towing that 7,000 lb beauty. I have the same rig in Pacific Blue.

Two weeks ago got a call from a nearby friend at 5 PM whose Corvette broke down immediately after a fuel stop in Georgia, about 225 miles from home here in Florida. The shifter cable broke when going into gear to leave.

Loaded tools and floor jack and hooked up my 23' Continental enclosed car trailer. This was the first time I hauled it with my PB '20 AT4. Hauled many times with my c06 5.3L Silverado, which did the job but struggled.

The AT4 pulled it superbly, empty around 3500, about 7500 with the Corvette loaded in, including its full fuel tank and a fully loaded trunk.

Long night. Got there at 10 PM, got food, loaded the car then took off after midnite headed home. Arrived 5AM safe and sound, albeit enroute to GA, that one rogue orange rubber cone I hit when next to a 18 wheeler with nowhere to go in late night road construction. Truck got no damage but the trailer got it in the face and wheel well after it flew out behind the truck.

Scarab 30 Tournament behind my '21 6.2 with Max Tow Package. Boat and trailer come in at 9600 lbs without fuel or gear. Fully loaded with 280 gallons of fuel it scales at 11,200 lbs, just under max tow rating for the truck. I do not tow any long distances fully fueled, just fill up right before reaching the launch.

2018 Alumacraft Trophy 185 w/ Honda 150. Very versatile setup. Handles big water great and does just as well on small inland lakes.

That's a great set up. Real nice. I've been kind of on the look out for something a little smaller for smaller lakes, like a Competitor 175 CS or a Sport. A local dealer sells Polar Krafts and was looking at a 179 Frontier WT. Or a 16ft something tiller with a live well since getting in and out of small lakes up near LongLac Ontario can be challanging.

Very nice! I'll bet she scoots really well too.

I will rarely tow the boat as it will live on a lift as soon as they replace the old lift with the new one to fit the new boat, but here's what it looked like bringing it home. Truck is a bit squatty with it, as the boat/trailer are close to max, but it's got brakes on all 6 wheels so it handles and stops well for the small amount of towing I'll be doing.

I tow this frequently in the summer. Kids started getting into water sports and my old “speed boat wasn’t working out well. So I found this. Don’t really need a ski boat, but I’ve always thought the old style low profile boats were cool, this ones all fiberglass, no wood, and a 350 Chevy.
