how steep is the ramp? :p we were able to pull a triple bbc 42ft cig with a chevy 150 bumper hitch in a striaght line easy....but that doesnt mean we could tow it

The insurance company does not care how close or far away your ramp is.

If you get in an accident, and it's over your vehicles capacity, you own it. And all the damage that went with the accident is coming out of your pocket too.

I think your boat alone is over 7,600 LBS, add in the trailer and you should have a pretty good idea just how far over you are. Your call at the end of the day.

should have enough power to pull it.....stoping it may be a different story

dont forget weight of fuel if you fill at pump before droppin it in(mayb another 900 or so pounds if for example ur tanks hold 150 gallon),and other misc gear....

It'll pull it, but not safely. :(

just tell him the deal.....No....but if you get one of those weight distribution hitches....it might help keep you from sagging as much....when your not sagging as much it gives you a feeling of stability which in turn lets you drive faster....also it lets you relax more to you can consentrate on the hole your going to need while attempting to avoid other drivers such as yourself :D

Are you talking around the parking lot or on the street??? You could launch in 4 low and it could do it, but there is NFW I would try and drive on the road with that set up. How you doin buddy? How is Jen doing? Hope all is well, see ya soon.

BTW-which 10 meter are you looking at? Rhode Rage?
We can always hook you up with a truck to pull that thing if you need to go somewhere. :cool:

We pulled ours a few blocks to the ramp with a Expedition but it was very iffy.

The problem won't be towing it will be launching. The jeep won't be able to stop the boat and trailer going into the water.
