Buy it, gives you a reason to get a bigger boat now that you can tow it anywhere

This truck was used to tow a 42 Fountain and it never had a problem at the boat ramp.

Must have never been on a very steep ramp or had the trailer hung up on the expansion joint.

2 wheel drive is a deal breaker...

I don't know man...I've been on many a ramp and I'd say 25% of the time I slap the GMC into 4 wheel low to crawl it out. I have those same michilen "100k" tow truck tires too. Granted it is only a 1 ton dually not this monster but you are F*CKED if you get on a ramp at low tide with some moss and don't have 4 wheel drive.

Things killer though! I'd still rock it! Tell your boy I'll trade 'em for the GMC!!

By the way, which 42 Fountain did it tow?
