What is the towing rating of a '71 350 C20? I am about to buy a nostalgic boat that is pretty heavy. Not sure of the weight yet, need to get it to the scales, but the PO says it is about 6K w/o trailer. I also have the '05 Suburban with a '7800# rating... seems like that might be pushing it, with fuel and other equipment.

I will only have to tow this thing about 5 miles or so to and from the docks, but I don't want to break anything.

As always, thanx for the input.
