Re: trailer size?
 
I'm pullin with the quadratrack V8 Jeep (full time 4wd). The boat/trailer weighs more than it I'm pretty sure. I can tow up to 65mph, but I only do 55 - 60mph mostly. Anything above 65 gets a little squirly ;)

I love the V8 and full time 4wd for towing though. With that 6 cyl you might notice some drag when climbing hills. I do in the V8.

Being in MD close to the ocean I doubt you have an significant hills to worry about though. I live in the foothills of NC, so I have to deal with that.

COMPLETELY FLAT TERRAIN, NO HILLS, ONLY HAVE TO DO A MAX SPEED OF 35 MPH TO GET TO THE RAMP.

Franco, I put Tie Down's SS Discs on mine several years back...wasn't too hard...had probs at first, but worked thru them, and now they're pretty good...BUT if I's startin' over, I'd be lookin' REAL HARD at Kodiak discs...they seem to be heavier duty...FYI for when you whip out those hard-earned Franco-Bucks and order that new custom trailer... ;) 8)...

Oh and Cyensen...what Stinky said...only double... ;) :)...

mine is on a Float-On Aluminum Tandum trailer and i've pulled it many times at 75 to 80 mph going to the beach with no problems.

The trailer I have has the articulating bunks. If you've never heard of that type you should check em out. I had never paid much attention to trailers and didn't know what that meant but I must say I think I like the articulating bunks a lot better than rollers. It loads and unloads like a dream, plus there are only I think two rollers on the whole trailer to accomodate the center of the V. The bunks are covered with a PVC type material that allows the boat to glide on and glide off with ease.

Did I tell you I replaced and recarpeted my trailers bunks over Labor Day Weekend. Did I tell you I only have to travel 3 miles to launch my V20. Did I tell you --

OK I'll stop! Bill Mc ;D

OK here's my 2 cents, it's about a mile from my driveway to the ramp. ;D
