Gen 2 pulling 10,000# boat

As long as the boat/load is "balanced " on the trailer, most of the weight on the axles, not super tongue loaded, there won't be a problem.
Good job brother
Best of luck to you for the upcoming weather event
P.S. nice boat

Agreed. Looks well balanced

…copy all, and good luck!

I was born in Bradenton, and raised in Palmetto; lived there until I joined the AF many, many years ago. Visited my brother who lived just east of there before he moved to SC a few years back, and literally couldn’t recognize the area. A lot more folks living there than when I left!

My aunt still lives out on Anna Maria Island… Good reminder to check in on her!

Been in that area since 1986. Used to drag race my Buick Grand National on University Parkway where it dead ended just east of 75 (this was in 86-87). There was a spot marked that measured a quarter mile from that point to when you got to the 75 overpass. Anyway, I own a house in Lakewood Ranch...the roof got effed up during Debbie. Now Milton blew away my 300ft perimeter fence, there is about $80k in damage from those storms that insurance is working out. I've lived in Jacksonville full time since 2016, though. Hopefully we'll be back down there soon.

No, it's not the same...the place was pretty sleepy in the 80s.

Something like this can TOTALLY be done **IF** and that is a big IF you know what you are doing, looks like you definitely do.

I did Deaver +4’s on my Gen 2 and we use it for all sorts of stuff, we have a rack and roof tent out back weighing about 300 pounds, and a 20’ in closed trailer we use to pull our 2400 pound side by side and camping gear. I figure weighing about 9500lb loaded with extra fuel, propane, water etc.

We did 600 miles back in July pulling up our dreaded Coquihalla in British Columbia doing better than Highway speeds passing Semi’s doing 75mph.

Definitely the hardest the truck has ever worked, foot to the floor in 6th at full boost (truck is wicked up pretty good, she was making some heat). BUT she definitely did it. I wouldn’t think of going that speed down hill, but uphill with the load pulling us back, these trucks have the balls to make it happen!
