"What do u rent? I find the uhaul pickup with v6 does perfectly fine." - When we had our 25' Doral Citation I priced Uhaul, if I remember correctly their trucks had an approximate 5000 lb rating. The combined weight of the Citation and trailer easily exceeded that 5000lb rating. I elected to borrow a friends pick up that could handle the weight just in case an accident ever happened and insurance was invoved. I compensated my friend accordingly.

Have not had our last two boats trailered for vacation. Just headed out from our home port.

Mike.

I've seen little trucks pull huge things. That's here in FL though cause its flat. As long as the trailer has good brakes!

Deafwish....if you are needing a roller trailer for a little RS model then I suggest you spend more time in the weight room and less time at the boat ramp.

If you ever have launched at a shallow pitch ramp you would realize you typically unhook before boat is ready to float.....the man has a bunk trailer and is asking about the ez slides...not converting to rollers. From his prior posts you will know he typically boats with his wife and little kiddos.....in other words he launches and trailers pretty
much alone.

Try trailering a boat on a roller or ez slide trailer alone on a steep ramp....where you can't reach the bow eye or winch strap from inside the boat. Post some pics of your boat with the rollers....i would like to see that setup with a RS.
