I meant no working brakes on the trailer the dry weigh on the boat is 3000 so I think I should be fine I also have a low gear on the truck if I need more power out of it, it has a 4.7 liter v8 in it so should work
I personally think I would go Yamaha I have a 1990 seafarer 228g with a 2003 Yamaha 4 stroke 200 they seem to be worth the bigger price I’ve rode on boats that have has outboards from Johnson’s to yamahas and yamahas are my fave in my opinion
I have a 1990 seafarer 228g with a 2003 Yamaha 4 stroke 200 on it and I love I personally think that price is good for the boat but idk much about older outboards that aren’t Yamaha’s
I was wondering if a 2000 Toyota landcruiser with a 6500 towing capacity could tow a 1990 Grady white seafarer 228g on an aluminum trailer with no breakers on the trailer I only need to go a few miles and the boat has a 80 gallon tank
I have a v1 hull 228g with a 2003 Yamaha 4 stroke on it, but a 200 will get you around with some power leftover. I've ran with 6 people on it and 80 gallons in the tank and it got up, fine no problems with a 200hp.
I have a 1990 v1 hull seafarer 228g mine came with 2 tanks, but was swapped out at one point for a single 80 gallon tank, I think it is like 100 gallons.
