boot, yeah how far did you get on that Excursion buddy? :D :D

I had the 26' Sonic up to 92mph behind the Avalanche once trying to make it to he Richmond Radar Shootout on time; oddly enough.

We towed Monsoon back from LOTO with BobbyB's 7.3 PSD Dually at better than 90mph a few times, and I have had Monsoon behind the Avalanche in the upper 80mph range a few times. I like having the Predator Diablo Power Tuner now, as you can watch all your engine's functions on the screen while driving.

just curious...what was first ... the chicken or the egg?

does your boat go faster than you tow or is it up to the situation? :evilb:

2500HD towing a 28 Pantera. 75-85mph most of the time on the interstate as long as traffic is not too bad. 2 lane highway, I'm going as fast as the car in front of me :D

My last truck before my 04 duramax was a 02 duramax,cruised at 85 as high as 95(speed limiter) towing 272 baja after first getting truck but after getting 3 flat tires at same time coming back from hardy pond once i keep it around 75 max of 85 now.After a miserable year of pulling the 272 with 99 dodge ram STRUGGLING even with 4.11 gears at 70 mph the duramax just seemed effortless at 85 or 95 ,I gues i needed SPEED RATED TRAILER TIRES!
