Your the giant dick bag that thinks 2 foot waves look like 8 foot waves because your just a HVAC guy with too much extra money to spend on your boat. Remember I am Active Duty USCG with over 13 years in. So who has more time on the water? Either at Sea or on the Great Lakes? I spent over 4 on the lakes and the other 9 at Sea. Sometimes I get to use my Sunsation when I'm not at Sea/ or Lake for work.

When you take the engine out of the boat there is less weight behind the axles so there is a ton of tongue weight added. Then you made it worse by putting the engine in the truck. It's like a see-saw. With one person on each end it's balanced, when one person jumps off the other guy breaks his ass. You took one person off, the engine, and the tongue slams down.

...and it's a Dodge.

You misspelled 'you`re'... twice. Can you find the other one?

Sunrocket. seriously where did that come from? I actually thought the guys were being nice lol.

Here, let me take some attention away for you.....the guys love my tow rig.

Here is the tundra towing my 38 with no engines or drives. Even this Tundra, the best American made space shuttle towing machine, is sagging without the two big blocks out back. So it happens to the best of them, not just that coil spring Ram

If you look closely in the pic you will see a 2500 ram hiding, its a great plow truck, but its no tow vehicle.....hahaha

An S-10?? lol. A tundra is more than enough for any 38 ft boat that wasn't hand laid Don using the 12 inches thick or better method.

i like the tundra but no 1/2 ton truck is safe for pulling any 38 ft boat imo.
