I’ve hesitated to step up for a bigger boat partly due to the continual drum beat of diminishing fishing opportunities but also there’s the towing dilemmas: do you get rid of a perfectly good tow rig because you want a bigger boat?
So I’m looking at the boat of my dreams. It’s 28 feet and weighs in (with trailer) at just under 14,000 lbs
No way will my 1/2 ton tow that boat safely .
I spent the morning looking at one ton rigs.....I never particularly wanted a diesel but I’m guessing at this point, a diesel makes sense and a one ton is probably the best tool for the job
But the question is: is there a 3/4 TON out there one could safely tow a boat of that size?
I know nothing about diesels and which trucks out there I should be focusing on to tow a boat of that size.
Thanks for any help out there from the truck guys who tow the bigger boats
