its a 25open contender boat is actually 28foot. i tow it to grand isle and basically leave it for the summer and tow it back but when I'm down there i pull it in and out of the water. i know the f250 is ideal but I'm getting tired of paying more for diesel and i don't need that truck running around town and doing business.

Find you a beater F-250 for $5,000 or so and get a nice yukon. Keep the truck at the camp.

you no way a suv will pull that out of the water without help from the boat. my buddies 22' twinv needs to help his suv and its a 1/3 that weight.

I would get a friend to get it down to the island for you since you leave it their for the entire summer. The launches down there aren't to steep so you might be ok pulling it out.

Seems heavy for that boat though

I have an F-350 dually, and a solution to your problem.

Lemme know when you want it pulled down there. I'll tow it for you, then head back home to get my camper. You bring your own vehicle, maybe a Prius or something that gets really great mileage. When you head back home, I get the keys to the boat, you know, keep an eye on it for you and keep it well slimed. When you come back down, I'll just hang out at the camper (surf fishing) until your done with it again and head back home, and so on, and so on, until you want me to tow it back home at the end of the summer.

Do we have a deal?
