Randall Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 1991 Dodge Colt Vista (4cyl automatic) pulling a 16ft Basstracker with four to six group 29 batteries. Boat, trailer and batteries weigh around 1400 pounds. Pull it from one side of Atlanta to the other (Douglasville to Covington) almost daily down I-20 which is pretty flat for the most part. Most people are surprised at my choice of tow vehicles and how well it tows the boat. I do have to be real careful and not follow anyone closely in Atlanta traffic. Quote
Live.2.Fish Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Tow a 17' Basstracker tx with a 50hp merc. behind a 2004 Ford F-150 5.4l auto w/ tow package. Hopefully someday I can get a nice 20' Ranger or something that might make good use of all the ponies under the hood. As for now I'm stuck with an '83 Basstracker. Quote
