Grady White 247 Advance Tow Weight?

[NHAngler]

I see that this model is listed at 3500 hull weight? Seems light compared to the 222, 230, and some other models? I think I can do the math with adding twin outboards (150's), fuel, t-top, gear, trailer weight, etc. Guessing we are pulling about 7K worth of weight with a moderate setup?

However, wondering anyone that has this model tow regularly with a 1/2 ton pickup? My tow rig is within spec and hands down capable but is this boat going to be annoying to tow 50-80 miles each way to the water?

I wouldn't think so. My advice make sure your trailer is equipped with good brakes. Towing is easy , stopping is harder. You will also want to run the highest load range tires for your wheel size as possible and then inflate them to max pressure. I tow my 228 upwards of 1,000 miles in a trip one way. Going to Key Largo in 14 days.

I've towed our 248 thousands of miles with a 2.7 and a 3.5 ecoboost f150. Both have tow packages and both tow easily. Your weight guess is spot on with a trailer. Keep your tongue weight around 420-500 lbs for trailering blis.
