Have you towed a gooseneck before? I prefer them, truck feels more balanced, can back into some tighter areas, shorter length overall.
cons, can’t just call anyone to move your boat if your truck is down, may have to get the truck closer or deeper in the water at some ramps.

I have not towed with a 5th wheel gooseneck but with the Maximus being 45' im curious what the big guys prefer. Seems like turning is easier with 5th wheel and that might come in handy. The hauler who delivered the boat said go bumper pull if
I replace trailer.

Have pulled both many of times. I prefer bumper for a boat trailer. All the weight of a boat (on a proper balanced trailer) is at the back, so tongue weight is not really an issue. I also like being able to have my toneau cover closed for security and mileage, which you cant do with a goose neck.
