Hi Guys. I've owned a 2006 240 DA for three years, but have always had it in the slip. It came with a dual axle Vanguard trailer which I have never used! We're vacationing 100 miles away and want to bring the boat. The boat weighs 5500 lbs dry, and I think the trailer weighs 1500 lbs - but I still need to confirm that. So with supplies, gas etc total trailer weight will be 7500-8000 lbs. I have a 2011 4x4 Ford Expedition with the heavy duty tow package, which the specs say is rated to pull 8900 lbs with a weight distributing hitch (which I currently dont have). So if I get the WD hitch, it looks like I should be under the max load spec. But what about pulling the boat out of the water? Do you think this is too close to spec weight to power it up the ramp? Thanks for your thoughts. Rich
