Re: Square bodies towing boats, let's see them!

I've posted this before, but I think it fits. My 85 towing 2 boats! Ok not really boats but they go in the water. Hey Toyhauler, on that Tahiti I noticed the steering wheel o the left, isn't that a bit unusual? Nice pics guys.

Here's mine. I've towed this from Southern AZ to Lake County Florida and back twice. Long drive, especially thru Texas.

I wouldn't think that way, you're either on the water or you're not. Nice pics.

There's a little more to it than just launching. If you look at the pic you will see a set of wheels under the goose neck. I block the tires, all of them to hold it, lower the wheels unhook and connect a 60 ft cable to the trailer and the truck. Then pull the cable tight and remove the blocks and back the whole thing in the lake. The trailer is totally submerged before the boat floats off! It's about a half day project.

Probably......mine's a 19 and looks to have a longer nose....
A guy not far from me has a 18' Kona as well......also has the swim step....

Yours is really nice.....looks similar to a friend's boat in Wasilla...(I grew up there)
