Here are a couple of pics of both of my trucks that i use to pull my boat. Which one I use depends on how many people are coming along with me ;-)

Could those of you with 1997-2000 sports boats post a picture of your trailer without the boat on it? I am trying to get some ideas for my bunk and winch set up and seeing some pictures of the trailer without the boat would be very helpful.

I have a 1997 230BR and am trying to get things set up prior to driving up to the cottage and picking up my new to me boat.

Cheers,

Mike

I've got a 1998 210BR with factory trailer that I could take a picture of next weekend if you're willing to wait. We'll likely hit the lake next Sunday.

Check out post 211 in this thread... my 310 really makes my single 2500HD look small :wow:

how did the 2500 handle the boat?......we are thinking of upgrading to a 30' or so cruiser sometime....i have a 2007 2500HD Silverado with 6.0 gas Vortec....it has 3:73 gears, 6 speed 6L90E HD tranny and other additional towing options.....i was wondering how it would handle a 30'er....probably only pull it a couple times a year......

thanks...

My truck is a 2001, 2500HD with the 8.1L gas engine, Allison transmission, and 4:10 gears.

Currently I tow about 2 miles to and from the lake twice a year... its great for that. I have towed the boat to the dealer (about 90 miles away) a few times... doable, but nerve racking. About 50 MPH was all I wanted. :smt100 A lot depends on the trailer... tongue weight, breaks, axles, etc.

thanks....i think my truck could handle 10 -12,000 lbs OK as long as the trailer is properly set up and a safe speed is maintained as you stated...the low gear in the 6 speed tranny makes up for the difference when using a 3:73 gear instead of a 4:10 gear with a 4 speed tranny from what i have read, at least to get the load moving.....the engine is rated at 353 hp and 373 ft/lbs of torque....not the power of a diesel by any means but should be OK for the occasional pull of a 30' cruiser.....as long as i can afford to feed it gas... :wow: .....
