Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!

Post by Big Block Power »

I tow mine with a 2008 Escalade.6.2l. I didn't care if it was a Escalade or a Denali I just wanted the engine. This engine pulls so much better than the 5.3 I had in the suburban. But it likes gas. In the second picture was when I brought her home from KC Missouri on Good Friday this year. Snow when we left in the morning to 60 degrees 9 hours later. 16mpg there and 7.8 mpg back but passing everyone and flying on the highway with no issues.

2015 Acadia Denali. No 6.2 but it pulls that 3500 lb 190 just fine. Looks clean and fits the fam.

Thanks. I get those made At the local Fastsign store here. They do all of our graphics at work. I have them on both sides and on top of the rear window. Free advertising for them. Makes it easier to find in the parking lot. My wife keeps walking up to old black suburbans in parking lots yet. Had one for nine years.

An R7 is a lot of boat to haul around, but the truck certainly appears up to the task!

Nice photos, Apryde. Looking at how far back the axles are really reinforces how heavy the engines are relative to the rest of the boat!

Bought originally from Gordys. I bought it used off a private seller who used to have it stored/serviced at Gordys. Been to Lake Geneva a handful of times but it's really crazy there on the weekends as I'm sure you're aware. We usually drop in the cal sag make the run out to Lake Michigan staying close to shore and head over to Hammond Indiana.. There is a nice beach area just N of the marina.. How about you? From the area?

I know your area very well. Never boated it though. One of my best friends lived in Hammond. I sold them my stingray and they kept it at that marina. They live in Portage now. The loop cruise got cancelled the day I was there it was raining pretty good. Drop in at the calsag. I'll be there next year. Have friends that came here from your neighborhood this year.
I boat here in Wisconsin on Lake Winnebago water system most of the time.
