Paul, the X towed it great, its my first Diesel and I was amazed how no matter what, hill or no hill, it just pulls! I set the cruise @ 65mph and it never downshifts just goes!
I had 30psi in the air bags and the ride was a bit bouncy but 65psi solved that.
On the over head display I got 23mpg empty, and 14mpg towing.. I figure thats about 3- 4mph too high but thats still great. My F150 towing a much lighter 25' A.T. was lucky to get 8mpg.
I just put on my new light bar too, now if someone cuts me off I`m gonna make their eyes bleed
(doest seem like it but those middle light are huge at 9")

Yup that's about the right milage. In my dodge towing my 36 I get 10 at 65 mph doing the math. My lie-o-meter says 14 mpg.
Light bar looks cool.
I actually crossed in front of your wife in the X today and saw the light bar. It looked like your truck from the side, then saw the gauges on the pillar and thought "yup". Dude you do some night huntin we don't know about???? You gonna rent that truck out to carnivals for night light? Hope you got optima's in that rig.

update:
I LOVE THIS BOAT! I love all the extra room and storage.. 4 people two kids its no problem, not even a little cramped and very comfy.
My wife grabed the handle behind bolster and went to sit down as shes used to... fell right on her ass cause the seat is so much farther back...lol
Maybe its the 8' upgrade but this thing handles SOOO nice!
Twins are really nice around the docks too, the TC motors sounds awesome.. I had a great day today, storm was coming in I just wanted to keep driving
that is all
