What Model Do You Have And What Do You Use To Tow It?
 
I have a 29' Fever and tow with an 08 Suburban. I wish my tow vehicle was bigger though, but this get's the job done.

If your like most boaters and you stay with it very long, you will get a bigger boat. I know what your thinking.....not me, Im happy. I said that 5 boats ago, and their are plenty of others on the board that have moved up the size ranks. Buy the biggest tow vehicle you can afford. I bought a F350 in 2000. Have had 4 boats since then have had this 38 Fountain for 2 yrs. and only one tow vehicle. Not sure what your ramps are like, 4w drive is nice, some of our ramps get alge, and slime on them and its nice to have. You sacrifice fuel mileage, but it can save your butt in a pinch. You have to weigh your needs if its also your daily driver.

And this is what can happen when you tow a 38' formula with a 2007 tahoe it said a 30' but it is a 38'. He said it strated fishtailing and he tryed to power thur it but just lost it.
He is one of the gang at the lake and he is not a big drinker but all it takes is one and you can be under.

Pretty rare seeing a Ford towing something powered by a Chevy :cool-smiley-011:

Here's My set up..It is much better when the tank in the boat is dry. 1/2 ton chevy

I can't tow a bigger boat safely with this Suburban, so I will deffinately be upgrading the tow vehicle before then. The suburban which is 4x4 does a decent job of towing.
