I realize I am resurrecting a dead thread but I am glad I found it. I am about to embark on towing a small fiberglass boat with this thing. Need to get the surge brake first.
I have the XT, the boat is a SeaRay 175 which is about 18ft and I am told 2000-2100 pounds, I suppose the trailer is another 300-400.
I will tow out to a local lake and back, most of the time 11 miles each way speeds of no greater than 55, sometimes to a lake 20 miles, maybe highway speeds of 65.
Should I look into a tranny cooler and do they even make one for an MT?
My largest problem is that I live on a steep bluff. Gotta go down a steep hill when leaving and climb it at the end.
I had not given thought to getting the boat moving out of the water though. Yikes. Gonna have to look for a ramp that is not to steep.
