If Hugh is willing to pick you up, thats better treatment than I got from a certain dealer in Chicago! Driving a new boat might be worth the price of a plane ticket. At least you will save the $90 I spent to use a rental for 3 hours.
But I'm not bitter!:eek::grinser010:

31ss with blue motors you have the best of both worlds, luxury and speed. The new 32 Sunsation hulls produce great speed out of the black motors, I just think there a little cramped on room...

Kjberman what motors do you have?

What are you guys using to pull a 31SS with? How heavy is it with fuel on an aluminum trailer?

About 10K
Boat 7K
Fuel 1K
Trailer 2K
I towed with everything from a '78 1/2 ton (I wouldn't recommend it) to a couple of different duallies (definately recomend.)

I first used a 00 Suburban 3/4t and pulled it fine, now a 04 Dirtymax (big difference)...

A board member named Z06 is using a modded 1/2t Z71.

BigBoat - i have 496HO's but i run labbed 28 Bravo i's......seems to like that set up nicely.

Towing 31ss
 

I use an 05' Expedition......and actually it tows pretty nice.....enough ppower, but more wheel base would be nice. Since i refuse to lose my A** on it i t will sit in my garage.

I have a 3/4 ton Suburban. Since it's 4WD and has the 6.0L with 3.73:1 gears, it's only rated to tow 8,000lbs. Even though the 31SS on the trailer with fuel will be heavier than that, it sounds like I should be OK.

06 HD2500 Duramax pulls very nice. On highway going 65, I can maintain 13mpg. If I get to 70, she drops to 11mpg.

Your 2500 Suburban will be fine. I would recommend replacing the Chevy hitch with a 10,000 pound rated hitch. I did and what a difference.
