Default Anyone tow their 2700 SCR (or similar)

I am thinking about buying a trailer and occasionally towing my 2700 SCR to different bodies of water. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

Hybris1,

Not a trailer towing question but was wondering if you have any problems hitting the pulpit when putting in the water or taking it out. Just curious as I have a 2400 SCR and I have to get the trailor way in the water due to the grade of the local ramps here.

Nice RIG by the way..

No problem with hitting the pulpit. I even left the anchor on. The ramp was not very steep and I did have to power the boat on the trailer.

You may want to check your owners manual for your maximum hitch weight, here ( Canada) we need to use a weight distributing hitch for anything over 5000 lbs. I regularly tow my 2900 SE (10,300 dry) and use a reese sc rated for 15,000 lbs, it makes a big difference in the control of the truck and makes it legal, here anyway.

Your truck looks like a bit of a mismatch but nothing like mine. I bought this older 2700 SCR and trailer early this spring. It really looked ridiculous behind my truck. I only had to haul it 30 miles from where I live to my place at the lake. My Range Rover Sport SC is small but pretty heavy for its size. It has 400hp and really wide tires and huge brakes. It had no problem hauling this up big hills and it handled great. Still I would never haul this a long distance or very frequently. I will just be launching it at the nearby boat launch. The rest of the summer it stays on my buoy out front of my place. Second pic.
