Hey thread, if I wanted to tow a boat of 25 or fewer feet, what magnitude of truck/SUV/pullerthing must I contemplate? Is there is a sweet spot in price/performance in that category? I'm looking to buy a vehicle after some years of carlessness and I have no idea what's good, and "pulling a boat" is one of my requirements. We'll worry about the boat a little later :heh:

....Is.... is there not a smaller option than a full-sized pickup?  This might be a nonstarter, because I would go insane if I had to use an F-150 as a daily driver car. Perhaps what I want to do is buy the trailer and rent a truck when I need to move the boat, but I don't know if you can rent trucks for towing now that I think about it. I live in the Puget Sound. We have a common sort of utility powerboat used for recreational fishing and getting around in the San Juans that usually has a fiberglass or aluminum hull and a small enclosed cabin to keep the weather off. Larger versions might have a berth, but most just have a primitive head in the bow. There's a few widely known local manufacturers of such boats, none of whom I can think of off the top of my head right now, but that's the sort of thing I mean.

...Yeaaaah maybe I'll buy the Cherokee off my dad after all. It's got a 5.7 liter V8 diesel. Thanks for the tips, this gives me a place to start. * Thankfully it's not that Cherokee.

Elmnt80 posted:Wait, chrysler has never made a 5.7L diesel as far as I'm aware and I think I've sold parts for every motor ever put in a jeep. (Yes, including the rare af diesel ones.) Yeah, IIRC it's a Hemi. I know NOTHING about car engines. Do they call them hemis because they've had a hemispherectomy, or....?

Applebees Appetizer posted:Ok, so I discovered this micro skiff builder near me. He's an experienced builder that worked for Hell's Bay and bought the design rights and molds for this boat. It looks loving amazing and my xB could tow it no problem. Reasonable price too, about ten grand for the hull with an aluminum trailer. Thinking about going to his shop which is on the water and testing one out. It's called the Nano made by Nanocraft. If you get one, you should call it the R/V Vespa

If you have a dive ladder on your boat is there value in having an alert, conscious MOB use it or is it best practice to hook and winch? I'm also wondering about the risks of having someone stand on the ladder partially immersed to assist the MOB or help lift them onto the deck. Guess it depends on conditions. I'm used to recovering divers in 3-5' swells and the occasional big boat wake, but I haven't had to do it in stormy conditions, and divers have masks and regulators, so they're less likely to get a lungful of water during a surge.
