In Topic: Need info on buying a boat

05 June 2015 - 01:05 PM

hey guys, just want to add some input here:

 

regarding tow vehicle:

- 4 cyl, whatever HP is irrelevant.  It will only affect acceleration. 

- you want a stable chassis and usually over stable to handle the loaded boat/trailer, by handling i mean highway speed turning, up hill acell, downhill braking, no 1/4 mile here guys...

-how far are you travelling and how often?  Are you doing a handful of epic backwoods trips, or regular to simcoe/scugog/rice, or regular epic backwood trips? 

-ramp condition of the places u go to, will limit what kind of vehicle you should be launching the boat with

 

boat:

- any 16' 25+ HP will get u to more than enough places to explore with 2 ppl.  Start from there if you're a first timer. 

 

in general:

-the only way to determine a proper boat/car combo for you is through experience, not calculations.  Forums will tell u experiences from preiovs owners of the same boat/car

-do NOT push anything to the limit, engineers build redundancy for a reason.  No calculations will tell u the answer.  Better to overkill than calculate and push things to the limit.  That's in general, my nickel (no more 2 cents).
