Mammoth? It's got 8 ft of beak and 2 ft of swim platform, it's really on 28 ft. Apparently fountain is the only one that counts the molded swim platforms in LOA, which worked out well for me and my little truck.

Btw my truck isn't really a tundra, it's a Tacoma with tundra badges. And I'm not worried about mechanical failures, Toyota don't break, and if they do Toyota buys them back to put in their museum of rare Toyotas that actually had a failure.

Speaking of failures, can we talk about my dmax that broke every over month, or my 6.0l powerstroke that broke every other week like clockwork? I should get another one of those HD trucks, but keep my toyo as a back up to insure I can get to the lake when my dealer takes if for weeks on end in July to repair :)

You really should take that power out of the hedgehog and put it ina 35 lightning, bet you pick up 20 mph :)

Hahah

On a nice note, I was just watching you hatch off YouTube video the other day, still one of the coolest vids in the web. That's a cool ride

And what are you towing that 32 ft jet boat with? Anything short of an F650 and technically you will be in the same trouble.

Please post a link to any lawsuit on recreational towing that proves your theory?

I don't care how well equipped you are, If you kill someone in your car you are gonna get sued and you will pay

Homey works at a Ford dealer and drives a SuperDuty. Just giving you the heads up.

2012 F250 Diesel. 4bus its pretty obvious that towing is a sore subject to you since you are towing something way to heavy for your boat. Quit being an internet bully and move on!

Thanks Brian! Don't work at the dealership anymore! Being I was a service director for Ford and GM, does NOTHING for my credibility when it comes to towing or tow ratings. Not to mention I have been towing boats since I was 15 years old without my drivers license, when I worked at the local marina in high school. Yep thats right I have been towing boats for 20 years.

From the all knowing master himself.

Tell Me What I Want To Hear

There seems to be an emerging trend in this section. It's "tell me what I want to hear".

Example- the poster comes on asking for advice about a towing combination. Through the thread, he gets sound information- from him under-estimating the weight of his trailer to him not considering the thousand pound of fuel he'll have in the boat and so on. Then they'll hear about how they've over-estimated the towing capacity of their vehicle. (Interestingly enough, it seems like they come to ask these questions AFTER they've purchased everything)

Then, someone comes on and says, "No problem! I've towed exactly the same thing with the same truck and I've never had an issue". Imediately the person is willing to go with that.

Am I just wasting time responding? I'd like to help someone not kill themselves or push my insurance any higher but I wonder if those of us who offer common sense and fact are anything more than flame-bait.

I'm content with my speeds lol...

Also, the room I have, albeit a 31' boat, is great to other said boats of the same size... I like the fact it has air, heat, refer, microwave, vacu-flush head, flat screen, and still functions like I want it to...

Very nice Todd!

Andrew... nice to see you on... what say you?

I hope to boat like crazy this summer. No bail and chain, little guy every other weekend. My buddy has a Condo and slip in New Buffalo, and the ramp is good enough to launch a 42' OL. Life doesn't suck!!!!!
