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

Cool thread so I thought I would add to it.....

Had to move our boat a few miles away with the Blazer but it went OK for 37" tires. Since then, I've moved it down to 35" tires and a MUCH tighter suspension!! It actually tows pretty good for such a short wheelbase truck.....

steering wheels were original installed starboard so the drivers weight would off set the rotation torque. On a jet boat it doesn't matter what side it is on. Now with modern technology, duals, counter rotating props, etc wheels can be either side.
