Damn, U could have used my Chevy Malibu boo if ya wanted!!!!:evilb:

the nissan will do the job,but it,s pretty hard to beat the chevy s10 when you tow those bigger boats,with the 4 cyl engine the weight balance is perfect and the power is plentyful as long as you use 87 octane fuel.i will never understand why people waste there money on big trucks for towing boats.:eek:

Shouldn't be a problem...I just went and picked up my 42' searay sundancer with twin diesel inboards..used my chevy s10 pick up..I forgot the receiver so i opened up the hole in the trailer hitch and got a 2 5/16 ball with a 1/2'' shank and bolted it to the bumper,,when i let the boat down the springs were hittin the leaf spring stops so i hacked it back up and wedge two pieces of 4x4 wood in between their so it wouldn't sit so low..all is good to go ...had to brake steer but if did the job..i even passed a toyota tundra pulling a 47 fountain....

I find the inline 4 cyls. are more aerodynamic than the v-4's.

fastdonzi 03-17-2013 05:29 PM

With a small vehicle like that you need to use Small Low Profile tires, 4 of those "Donut" Spares will work great, you won't get any trailer Sway at all..Thats how we pull the 65' Donzi Sport Fish from lake to lake for the Bass tourny's :)

phragle 03-18-2013 03:45 AM

I feel like In Oz..... The boat shrunk and the truck grew.....

That right there is tight! Although, in a marine application, I would have used pressure treated wood myself.

Don't forget one of those $50 electric superchargers, makes all the difference.
