Well, I'm pleased to say the boat made it from Maine safe and sound and the truck tows it like it's not even there. Right turns however are a discipline. . .

My buddies 01 cig 38' top gun is around 15k but its very well balanced and he can pull it with his 04 reg cab 6.0 easy, his crew cab 450 doesn't even know its there. Its about 40-45' but having the turning that the 450 does helps a lot!

Just curious, sounds like boats of all sizes seem to pull very well, must be the hull cutting the air.

Not all but mine sure does. I have a toy hauler that weighs less by a good amount but is harder to tow.

Actually those are staggered Nor-Tech 617 ci motors making about 1100hp each. BAM trannys, #6 drives, Herring props. About 60 hours on the whole lot. :toast:
