1988 WELLCRAFT V20 STEPLIFT

[Bygracealone]

Hey, I sure hope that was a good deal, b/c I bought it!!! ;) Was it a good deal? ???

Unfortunately, it will be a long trek to bring her home. I live in MD and the boat is in FL. I plan on towing it with my 2003 Jeep liberty with a class III hitch. Do you guys think I'll be okay? According to the owners manual the Libery is capable of towing up to 5000#, but I would never want to try it. Should I have a transmission cooler installed before making the trip? How do you think it will go with braking? I know there was a previous thread on towing, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I have a lot more questions about the V20. Please allow me to apologize up front for my ignorance in this post and any posts that follow.

This is the third boat I have bought in about a year and a half. I'm hoping the third boat will be a charm. Steve
