Formula towing vehicles
[ATTACH=CONFIG]562430[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]562431[/ATTACH]From an enforcement officers viewpoint, ozarkdevil does it right! I have never seen a quad axle boat trailer. I am impressed.
This is how we move about. Superduty does well.

Enforcement Officer as in DOT
When I was looking to buy this boat I was pretty skeptical about the quad axle trailer, I thought for sure it would turn like crap. It really isn't any different than a tri-axle trailer and it does pull nice.

How does that dully pull the 400? I'm looking to get into a 400 in the spring and was wondering about towing it... I kind of figured I would need a Kodak / f650 or a sport chassis.... how tall is that on the trailer? What does it weigh?

The gas V-10 dully does fine pulling it. My last boat was a 47 Fountain so weight wise it is no different to me but at 13' 4" tall and 11' wide you really have to pay attention.

Before this trip to Utah I studied the oversize load requirements of the states I would be traveling thru and I think I was legal to a "T". I figured pulling a trailer with quad axles would be a unwanted attention getter.

You might want to check but I am sure the hard top is like a foot taller than with out. If that is so it would put you over 14' which is a different set of rules to pull.
Yeah my V10 gets 7 - 8 MPG depending on hills.
