It seems like everybody tows their boats with the smallest vehicle they can find? Why? A Cooper? A Subaru? Where are all the redneck sailors. I tow my boat with a 3/4 ton pickup, Diesel. Modified. 300hp, 550 foot pounds of torque. Soon to be closer to 550hp & 800 ft/lbs. I get 17-18 mpg, boat, double stacked, empty doesn't matter.
