[Rhodes22-list] towing

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

I'm figuring boat, motor, trailer and all the associated gear that we keep  
within our Rhodes, plus a slight fudge factor for safety. Trailering to the 
 maximum limits of a vehicle or hitch is not smart.
A 3000 pound lift MIGHT work. Is it a mechanical lift or an air lift like I 
 have for our Chaparral?

4500?? I did not realize it weighed that much. I've always  used a full 
size pickup so never had a problem. 

Thinking of getting a  lift for the boat and was thinking a 3000# would be 
enough. Maybe  not??
