    Highlander hybrid towing is only 3500# Highlander gas engine towing is 5000#. its not the chassis that is the weak link. its the EV/hybrid drive for the rear. its a FWD vehicle with electric rear drive.

    Help with 88 Bomber Scout Restoration

    You can't see it since it's got a layer of fiberglass. However the build quality in the 80 sucked and the wood rotted ..... most likely why the boat sat Suggest going thru the stickies at the top of the forums, 4th down is the DIY links. Go thru links 14, 15, 18, 2, 3, 4a and 4b in their entirety

    there usually is silicone between the cap and the hull before you get ready to glue the carpet down, do a few test drills. your fiberglass boat is half wood and foam covered in fiberglass. my guess is your wood transom and the stringers are rotten (as with 99% of all fiberglass boats from 1988)

    I would focus on the hull first. if you can get the current motor running, I would run that.

    Other way around. Each successive layer of tabbing is 2-3" wider in both directions. So your first strip is 6" wide, you next is 12", etc

    What ever they give you. The hull will need work. My guess is max $1000 assuming the boat is in fair shape However it's a project
