Kajun, Your totally Hardcore. ;D So your gonna go for it. ;D ;D Good luck, stay safe, and the V-Gods will be waiting to hear from you Grasshopper ;D. Seacrets had a good idea. Grab the tires off your 18' and take with ya. Most of all, if your not happy with what ya see when you get there, dont be afraid to just walk away. When I bought my V. I sent the guy a deposit. After seeing the boat, I felt a bit stuck with it. Dont make the same mistakes that I did.
The boat looks good, hopefully just some good hard cleaning and teaking. The Gods want lots and lots of pictures now of your V-20 journey. Take a lap top computer with ya if you got one, to keep us all informed. ;D

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

As far as weight goes, I would say you are no more then 3500# Boat is like 2200 and 1000 for trailer, 400 for motor give or take a few.

F150 will tow that like nothing!!

thanks MJ..i thought it was around 2300-2500 or so...my 8 is 2200....i can stop pretty quick too without brakes ...so this shouldnt be hard to pull at all.

lumber..it might be on your title

Kajun, so what happens if the trailer is shot ??
When I bought my V, I just made it into the driveway before the tire fell off. I was lucky.

[Kajun]

i'm bringing it too a tire place or trailer place if i can find one to have all 4 tires replaced.......i'm also gonna buy a couple extra hubs...and prob repack all bearings before i leave.....if it breaks down...i got 7 days vacation ready to go into effect when i call work ..then i fix whatever is broke and continue on....also have roadside assistance and seatow trailer care......at this point, all i can do is pray is its in decent enough condition to make it back and i dont kill myself or someone else lol...bags are packed...truck is loaded...it's on!! next stop podunk,Il ;D

Good luck Kajun....bring a grease gun for bearing buddies. Feel the hubs for excessive heat after the first 10 minutes or so of highway towing and every gas stop.

Good luck, Kajun...
