    My 2015 grand dodge grand 's towing capacity

    A 2900# boat with a 800-1200# trailer, 300# of fuel, and 600# worth of batteries, oil, anchor, gear is a bit over your 3600# max towing capacity Working backwards..... 3600# - 1200# trailer, -300# of fuel, - 600# of gear, etc leaves you with a 1400# boat (including motor)
