Charlie - just wear some good rain gear in the shower and you'll be fine. Maybe a 2nd job to provide the $100 bills.

Hey guys. I found a guy on Facebook with an almost identical setup. He says he got decent numbers. Talked about what a light boat it is. I never thought of these as light.
Providing it’s not waterlogged, what’s the weight on a 92?

We have an ‘06 Yukon Denali and it tows our ‘85 I/O on dual axle trailer with brakes on one axle like it’s not even back there. There are a lot of the Chevy version of that rig out there - not super gas mileage, but you’re doing short tows. Another benefit is that you can throw a lot of stuff in the rig, out of the weather and locked up. A lesser known feature (at least on ours) it the very tight turning radius - maneuverability is better than any rig I’ve ever had.

I think one of the guys suggested this vehicle in some earlier thread.

WOW!!!! Congrats Charlie!! Nice looking boat. Happy you finally found "the one". Only bit of advice I can give you is ALWAYS, before launching, MAKE SURE the drain plug is back in and tight.
