Anyone down for a road trip to Savannah Friday? I bought a boat and the jeep should tow it fine for relatively short distances but I don't want to buy a new transmission trying to bring the boat home from Savannah. Payment will include but not limited to 1: a guided striped bass fishing trip on Lanier 2: all expenses for the trip paid and 3: a Steak dinner @ your restaurant of choice.

Let me know if anyone is interested. If not does anyone have a line on a rental that will allow me to tow?

Rent a suburban from HERTZ.  All have receivers.  i went to WI in one to get our current Air Nautique. 24 hour rental LOL

You'll need your own receiver hitch and do not mention that you are towing.
Sound like a plan. Thanks Doug!

Or follow Doug's lead and buy a truck and use it to tow and then sell it when done.  ;-)

If the suburban doesn't work out I may can. Depends on what I can get done prior to.

The two happiest days of a boat owners life:
1-The day he buys it

I agree.

What people fail to realize is that "seat time" is So much more important, than the rig.

This should be your first sticker on the boat.
