This washed up on our beach last summer. its not it great shape but it floats. You can see it hasn’t been legal for a while (4-91) but were pretty sure it was originally a scout camp canoe that was the victim of botched knotts merit badge (there is a scout camp about 4 miles north on the lake).
thats all.
Oh, towing the big boat with the little gx was fine. I mean i never got over 45 and I only towed it 7 miles, but being at 6000 feet towing a 7000 lb boat with a 5500 lb car with only 263 hp is surely felt. 12500 lbs of road train for what at this elevation would be AT BEST 216 hp
Trying to tow this over hill and dale, even as lights as could be made would still be work. That being said it didn’t feel much slower than my cruiser pulling my 3500 popup and the air suspension made it level and it was super stable. It could do it, slowly and with effort...but it could do it.
Turns out Land Cruisers aren’t the penultimate way to burn fuel as I had previously thought. 19 gallons for 4 hours while tubing and surfing. Nearly 5 gallons an hour! dayum. Surfs good though.

My wife told me we should get a Wrangler today. This gave me strange feelings.

You have to register a canoe?? I have a 14ft kayak and there is nothing like that here.

It’s because it can accept a motor.

Good that you have self-leveling, that looks like a lot of boat in front of the axles. I know it’s a v-drive, but still, it’s gotta be over 400lbs on that tongue.
Glad the boat performed well though. And yeah, fuel consumption... I always wanted to hook up a single gallon transparent container to my old boat and run it flat out just to see how fast it drained. I think I wouldn’t have made it much more than a mile; okay maybe two. It would be a great illustration to someone like 16-year-old me, to see just how fast you can literally burn $3.00 or whatever gas is at the time.
