My question is, can this be done for trips around town? I am not talking about trips across the country. I would get a weight dist. kit, anti-sway bar, beef up the rear leafs, and anything else that is needed. I have an aux. tranny cooler already. Myself, my father-in-law, and brother-in-law all are co-owners of a boat. There is a sweat deal out there that they want to get a different boat. A 2004 232 Rinker Captiva 23 ft boat with an alluminum trailer, its pretty. Here's the site with a picture of what it looks like here . We have a 19 foot boat now and the X tows it fine (4000lbs combined weight). The combined weight of the new boat and the trailer is 5100 lbs. What do you think. I have heard so many different specs on what our rigs can tow. I know the weak link in our trucks is the tranny, but will constant fluid changes with synthetic keep it safe from easy towing of this new boat.
What do you think. Is this possible to tow this thing maybe twice a month no more than 10 miles in town with the proper setup on my Sport?
