I Need Some Opinions...

[Dave1273]

My Dad is almost ready to buy another boat after his accident last fall and this time is looking at a larger boat. The one he has found is in the 23 to 24 foot range center console with a 225 outboard. I have no idea who made the boat or the year model as I haven't been to the coast since he found it. Here's the concern, He has an almost new, 06 or 07, Chevy 1500 with tow package and limited slip rear end but it's not 4 wheel drive. He's afraid his truck won't pull a boat that big out of the water. I know the boat is probably too heavy for that truck to trailer on the highway but that's not an issue since if it needs to come home, I'll pull it with the dually but I have no idea whether it'll pull it out on a wet ramp.
So, what do you think??? The only thing I told him is we'll have to hook it up and try it but he can't afford to buy the boat and then turn around and trade trucks too.

Any opinions???

Thanks,

Dave
