I trailer my curent boat to the 3 lakes with in 20 miles of syracuse NY. Thinking about moving up till all the additional cost sets in.

Bought a duramax 2500 HD crew cab 4x4 [to make sure i can get off a slick ramp] absolutely NO Problems, 3/4 ton is perfect, you can go with a 1 ton, but i figured 12,500 lbs for boat, trailer, gear, fuel, and a truck full of people and I ran it like that and the truck pulls it easily. Dont buy new, but get the boat you want.

i tow mine with a f350 dually it tows nice bullets are heavy and with a 3/4 ton it will be close on insurance if there is an accident
