    Small tow vehicle

    Hi Guys, I purchased a 2022 Hyundai Tuscan hybrid this year. It shows a towing capacity of 2000 lbs. Is it worth putting a hitch on it? What kind of boats would it be OK with an normal ramps? Hoping for Alumacraft V16 types boats, or 1648 type jon boats, but if this is just a kayak tow car I...

    TOWING WITH FWD

    What are your towing? I just got an older V6 Highlander and would not worry about towing any 18' or less tin boat or possibly 16-17' glass boats. One of the members of my old bass club used his Highlander to tow a Ranger 188 bass boat filled to the gill with fishing gear. It would not pull that...

    Balancing my budget vs the needs?

    Funny, I like your Academy Sports idea after seeing the junk on Craigslist here in OK. Probably would look at the Alumacraft 1542 (they still call it a 1540) for your purpose over the 1436. I could not get the online outboard place to come up, but Tohatsu and Nissan are the same engine with good...

    McClain trailers from Academy Sports?

    Academy sells two jon boat trailers made by McClain. Has anyone over bought one, or had a chance to really look them over? Seems like the heavy duty one plus an Alumacraft 1436 from there would make a nice starter package
