Got me a new toy

My only problem is figuring out to haul boat and travel trailer at the same time.

Let's go James Bond here you need a good hull with sealed wheel wells. Just pull up to local ramp and back into water. Retract wheels and seal hull and crank up the ole outboard. Best of both worlds. Let us know how it works out.

Nice ride

Tow weight is 5800lbs, Thats dry weight with empty tanks. I have a 3/4 ton full Chevrolet p/u. But you could haul it with a 1/2 ton if you use a hitch and sway bar combo. Thats what the sales man told me anyways. Seems to be pushing the max a little.

First question I asked boatbouy LOL.

Get an old pontoon boat, take off seats, rails, etc. take axle off the camper. cover pontoon deck in jb weld, carefully place camper on pontoon deck. best of both worlds

Or, move to Alberta and tow the boat behind the trailer

Hey nice new toy!

The wife and I were looking at one, a 32 ft model. The weight was almost 9,000 lbs. We decided to hold off and buy a Class A instead (down the road). The RV then tows the boat.

People do that here in ohio as well, only restriction is I believe you have to be under 55 feet or something.

Re: Got me a new toy

This is what I have and have been thinking of throwing the boat on the back of it but I am already close to weight. The trailer is a 34' Thor Wanderer Toy box. In CA you have to have a commercial CL A license with a doubles endorsment to pull two trailers.

Nice trailer. We are thinking of one only nowhere near as big. Most likely keep it at a lakeside park in the Bruce peninsula or similar in Ontario and have the boat there as well. Move them both when we decide to move elsewhere. (1 at a time)
