I have a 2500HD and pulled my boat on Friday and on Sunday and I knew it was back there for sure! You could just feel it taking off but it is a gas truck.

Poor guy took me seriously... its a shame. LOL

I argue the Pq build quality superiority to Sunsation. I base it solely on cuddy doors/tracks, and I always have. Mine works flawlessly... a close friend of mine with a 290 enticer, not so much.... love ya fish! <3

I was asking my self that also no joke I think it is somewhere near 7k but don't know for sure. Once moving it was not bad but I guess that is the story when pulling anything:lolhit: When I brought it home from MO we used Matt's diesel and what a difference the truck still had a ton of power.

YOU DRIVING A G6 TO TOW YOUR BOAT is a secrete that is safe with me:party-smiley-004::lolhit:

Ya know we use a Lincoln Navigator to haul our 30 and it does fine. With the excellent trailer brakes Boatnt put on it is easier to stop then our 272 baja was. 1500 will do a fine job for a lot of towing and the issue of panic stopping generally means someone wasn't paying attention hense the word panic.

your just bitter because your boat is older, back then PQ quality was a cut above.

Awesome hauler! Would like to have one myself but this year's budget (so far) is paying for my engine overhauls (and inter-coolers). Should have kept my 350 srw. Oh well, no tours this summer...just terrorize the Shuswap lake!

You want to talk about champs? Look up what Championship Sunsation won - it's laughable. The boat that is legitimately a champ has a #1 on the side. My Top Gun was incredible! My buddy in the Sunsation 32 was trying to keep up with me in a PR - The sunny was falling apart - literally! Trim pumps fell off, headliner came back, and something broke and the boat went back to factory for repairs.
The 2 PQ 34's in the same PR came in a little wet, but they didn't need repair either.

That said - Sunsation quality has improved vastly recently.
