Boat weighs 10 grand.
What boat do you have? Fountian said my 32 is 7200 dry, have you ran your boat and trailer across a scale?
If the boat is 10K I would think with trailer / fuel/etc you would be over 12K no problem.

boat weighs 7 from what nada says. Mine is 91 29 fever with twins. Trailer weighs 2500 so boat and trailer dry is 9500. lubricants and half tank of gas about 10 grand. Which believe is right because a guy on here with a 94 I think weighed his boat and it came out to about ten grand. Truck weighs 5 an some change woul have to look at the door sticker. I beleive its 5200

So is Ford though, I'll stick with displacement over charged for towing unitl the Ecoboost has shown it's real colors after many miles of towing heavy loads. not a few thousand.

I had displacement in a chevy junk. Also had a diesel and let me tell you this ecoboost will outperform just about anything. Guess what it has a warranty, let it it blow up I dont care

The tranny problem has been resolved and very few complaints about it on the ford forums also note the trans pump issues affected all the f150's not just the eco-boost.
Displacement is great-Im a fan myself with a 406 SB and an 8.3 litre V10 in my boat.
HOWEVER performance based on displacement only is dynamic in that at 6K feet you effectively have less and at 6K feet and in hot weather you get lose even more.
Under these conditions the eco-boost will give you a full 7 litres+ of displacement with the turbos "making up" lost and thin air.
It's about the amount of air & fuel you can get into, burn completely, and out of the engine vs how large it is.
Other than the the tranny issues I havent found a single blown up engine on any of the Ford truck threads, or SHO threads. There are guys on farms with these things towing 14K loads all the time.
I know ford put out a lemon (well navistar did) with the 6.no, or 6.blow diesel, but I think these guys have a winner here with the EB.
