Well, you're a hoot. Thanks for the smaller boat advice. As for the dock - I already have a 12,000 Hydrohoist on the canal behind the house with 215 feet of dock. I don't tow much hence the question. If your tired of giving your opinion given your obvious vast knowledge, why not - just not?

Thanks. An intelligent response.

The purpose to asking a question is to hear intelligent, reponses. If you don't know, thats what you do. If you get the facts and then screw up you're a jerk. If you slam guys asking questions then you are the jerk.

Did you stop and read this nonsense before you posted it?

I'll make it simple-

If you tow with an under-rated vehicle your chances of having a serious incident grow exponentially. If you could remove all external effects such as other drivers and acts of nature, your chances might improve but since that's not going to ever happen, let's stop $hitting ourselves. No one cares about your fuel mileage or your wear and tear. We're worried that while you're daydreaming someone next to you swerves and you instinctively react. Then your mushy, undersized marshmallow truck is about to become a passenger getting tugged along by an unguided misile- the boat that's hooked to it that weighs 3 times what the truck does. Maybe you get lucky and survive the roll-over but maybe you didn't get really lucky and you killed some poor slobs wife and kid. All because having your toy pulled at the exact minute you wished it to be somewhere but couldn't "wasn't convenient". God forbid your urges can't be delayed by "someone else's schedule". You're a busy, important fellow so fuc& everyone else, right?

OK, so you lived. Now you get to hear about the millions in liability that your insurer says NO to. Then, if we're all lucky, you'll get to endure a negligent homicide trial- one at which I pray I get to be a juror at.

But hey, don't sweat it. You're not going far and you're going to be careful, right?

P.S. How hard is hard? Maybe you cellmate can clue you in on that one.

An Analogy:

Hey guys!

I need an opinion here. I'm thinking about boning my neighbor's daughter. She's only 12 but she LOOKS older. She's real mature too. I figure she's able to decide for herself and since she's always over here talking to me, I'm guessing she's up for it. I'm not going to stick it all the way in and I plan to be gentle. I'll pull out, too. This should be OK, right?

Yes I read it, I also wrote it. After hearing what I heard at the dealers, I thought sounded odd. So I came here to hear what knowledgable people had to say. Hence the purpose of asking a question. Thats the smart thing to do. All you are doing is ranting.

nolimits

Did you already do it? Maybe we could be the cellmates you mentioned earlier.

This thread is dead, nice kill...

Bull$hit.

This is every week in this section.

Damn near every one of these "can I" posts is filled with strong indicators that these people know what they want to do is wrong. They all have the same load of $hit.

"I know the engineers under-rate"
"Not going far"
"Going to be really careful"
"We used to do it..."


After a while, you'd think people would catch on. Funny thing is that at least half the time, they get pi$$ed when you tell them what they are doing is wrong.

Besides, how does someone attain the wealth necessary to acquire a 12,000 pound offshore boat yet lack the basic intelligence to compare it's weight against their vehicle's towing capacity without enlisting all of our help? It's pretty simple- if the one number is smaller than the other, it's OK. If it's bigger, it's not. If you have to ask which number is which.....

No, I'm sorry. These people need to be slapped.

nolimits

I think you slapped to quick here. I think you did not read what I wrote and therefore didn't get the context of my question. You were to quick to swing the hammer. I post all the time. I haven't read those threads as it's not been an issue for me ( you'd have known that if you read what I wrote ). Don't confuse how often you feel you have to say something with who is asking the question.

nolimits

Also, what you said isn't slapping, it's just unhelpful anger. Give facts and explain, thats what this board is for - Inteligent discourse. You have no clue who I am, or how I think.
