[QUOTE="RivRaptor, post: 1401985, member: 7526"] [ATTACH=full]130420[/ATTACH] I have towed this boat (which weighs about what you are talking about) with my Gen 1 & my Gen 2 and can tell you that I found out I need a higher hitch due to the additional squat on the G2. Had no handling issues with the G1 but I have found out that because I was loading my trailer front tires to much (need less of a drop hitch) the rig above 70 or so she was susepsable to sway in a cross wind or un even pavement. Found out that these G2's have sway control! Works well. Buying a new hitch! Power was no issue and Manuel shifted the tranny, plus kep it out of 9th & 10th.
