[quote=nipper;127009]Glad to see you got her in the water. Nice looking rig. Did the Pilot do a good job of towing? I have been considering switching from my wife's Suburban to a Honda Pilot for towing my v20 cuddy. quote]

Nipper, I was very impressed with the Piliot's towing. I think it tows the 3500+ lbs alot better than my Silverado 1500 did my 2500 lb bow rider. I think the biggest difference lies in the suspension, I used to hit a bump with my truck and felt like I was going to launch the boat right off the trailer (although maybe the tongue weight was too light but it seemed ok to me) The Pilot is smooooth , no bounce , nice and steady. Acceleration and stopping seemed really good too. I was a little nervous at first thinking maybe it was too small a vehicle but I think it does just fine. Definitely sucked down the gas though....havent figured out any mileage yet but it probably isnt pretty.
