[spencer785]

Just wondering i have an 08 explorer v6 with tow package just wondering is it alright to tow and 23-25ft grady white boat with it. Because were thinking about buying a boat and just want to make sure its safe. Thanks

what's the weight of the boat + trailer, you know?

You should be alright with a tow package, but that's just a broad statement.

not sure the boats dry weight is 3300lbs plus 250hp outboard motor and fuel and supplies and whatever the trailer weights.

You will need to add that up for the total weight. Your class 3 hitch should have the max weight printed on a small plaque or sticker, and is should also be in your owner's manual. It's probably at least 6,000 since that's the rating for my 4.0 Ranger. Not that I would want to try that much weight very far.
