Racerngr1- your 29' is a single, correct? Mine with twin smallblocks probably weighs a few more pounds.
I don't think I've ever run my 29' down to a 1/4 tank. I heard from other owners if you are down to a 1/4 and don't have a gas station in sight you might be paddling!

You are correct about it being a single (500 EFI). I don't truly know how much gas I had or have or have ever had as my fuel gauge has never worked since I've owned the boat.

A one Ton truck easily, safely and legally will tow a 47 fountain, and I personally would tow with modern 3/4 ton SRW.
I really like those new rams too. Were did you find the 30,000lb capacity on that? Best I found was around 16,000 on the ram.

A tundra is most certinaley not the most American made truck (ever)! It is made by a Japanese company and therefore helps Japan's GDP, not ours!

Oh boy....get ready...4bus is about to either 1) Start crying or 2) begin a tirade on how awesome Tundra's brakes, drivetrain, engine, and overall "American-ness" are....or hopefully 3) Start posting pics of Kanuck Skanks.

It is truly amazing how globalized everything is now. When you look at the fact the F150 and the Toyota are both listed as 75% made in America.

"Oh boy....get ready...4bus is about to either 1) Start crying or 2) begin a tirade on how awesome Tundra's brakes, drivetrain, engine, and overall "American-ness" are....or hopefully 3) Start posting pics of Kanuck Skanks. "

I personally hope for pictures of Kanuck Skanks...
