My post caused a lot of discussion on how much these boats weigh, mostly the 25' cruiser. I went to the Honda outboard specs and they had test results of their BF-150 on a C-Dory 25 cruiser. Under Test Conditions they give the total weight of the boat tested as 5,314 lbs and that's with 2 adults...

Thanks everybody for the input. Makes the leap from thinking about it to actually doing it much easier.

Mine is a new 1500-I lease these and have a new one every 2 years

Thanks for all the straight up answers. They are confirming what I feel deep down that I knew. The 1500 could probably handle it on the flats but on grades will be struggling. I had a 25' Dusky center console that I towed with a 5.7 litre conversion van. It was all right but I knew I was pulling...

Strongly considering a 25' cruiser or, really want, 26' Venture as a trailerable trawler. I'm asking members to comment as to the suitability of a GM 1500 pick up with the 5.3 litre engine as a suitable tow vehicle...the 1500 is a 4-wheel drive. Thanks for any advice, Havitall
