Re: can a Jeep pull a 10 meter fountain
 

If it's a 4x4 it will handle the job with no problem. Obviously that combination is not road legal.

I launch my neighbours 33 Larson with my 4x4 2500hd Duramax. Now thats a handfull. 11'6" beam and about 12K pounds including trailer.

Hey... is this adapted from the "don't buy a junk lift and then stand under it" speech? :D

Just kidding Chris. His point is well taken.

I rent a dock. :D

Re: can a Jeep pull a 10 meter fountain
 

I'm a bit more subtle but the lessons are the same.

This sub-forum needs a sticky that says that:
"NO, it is NOT OKAY to do something that is unsafe, illegal and possibly fatal to yourself, your passengers or others around you."

It astonishes me that someone would even have to ask the question- and that it's at least a once-a-month event here.

Pulling my little old 288 single with a f-150 is on the edge IMO, I wouldn't even consider pulling anything bigger,, nevermind a 30 footer w/ twins and a jeep !! :rolleyes:

Bingo! Don't leave your driveway.

Re: can a Jeep pull a 10 meter fountain
 

even if you get it all rigged up and it trailers fine, you will be a lil startled when you try to pull it outta the water at a steep ramp, or when ur beak takes te jeep back in with it :D we use a grand cherokee v8 for towing....my 18ft checkmate :p

Re: can a Jeep pull a 10 meter fountain
 

I agree. I've asked this question many times myself on this board.
Only, I've asked it in the appropriate forum and wording (in this case it would have been "What's the weight on a 10-meter, posted in the Fountain forum). I can do my own math from there.
100% agree on the "ramp is close/just watch it/ be careful - you'll be fine, BS!!!
Right now, the thing that is keeping me out of the boat(s) I'm interested in all require a larger Tow vehicle than I have, to TOW LEGALLY and SAFELY.

your options in this case are:
Borrow buddies truck to get boat to marina.
- opt. 1. get a dock, keep boat in water.
if opt. 1 is not acceptable,
- opt. 2. Rack store.
- opt. 3. store boat on trailer at marina and use Jeep only to launch - IF said Jeep is capable of launching and retrieving.

Good luck - I like the old executioners.
I'm still just not a "beaker" and I'm still shopping for something (it should be a bigger truck, but that's not as much fun...)

:D

Hey, I just got a new tow rig, check it out, hoping to pickup my new 23 Velocity with it next week :eek:

Re: can a Jeep pull a 10 meter fountain
 

No offense....but if you have the proper tow vehicle....you will need none of these extra helpers.....you will need nothing extra.....hense my post of giving you the extra feel of security....while your looking for a hole ....I am shopping for another rig right now.......mabey i should buy a dually for the 46....just cause i need one and do not want to spend the money for a big truck :rolleyes: :D....pure logic

Re: can a Jeep pull a 10 meter fountain
 

Different folks have different opinons of need.

I have an F-350 PSD Dually and will still be using my WD setup to tow my 12K lbs. boat/trailer. I set it up originally to tow properly and legally with my 2500 Avalanche, rated to 12K lbs., which in my configuration, did not require a WD setup. The difference in handling while towing is quite noticeable.
