FWIW, it's a Honda Ridgeline. But the question still applies.

I watched a guy pull out a V258 with a V8 Grand Cherokee. He did just pull it out of the water and move it to a spot in the launch where boats are stored. Thank goodness he wasn't travelling far with it, just across the parking lot.

Great looking boat! You vista guys make it hard for me to resist selling the horizon when the kiddies are gone.

Well, I don't pull the boat normally. I bought the boat at Halls Sports Center in Michigian. I pulled it home 550km or 350 miles. Filled the tank up every 150 miles. Pulling it was not to bad.
I keep the boat in the water all summer and borrow my a Hemi to pull it twice a year to and from the lake. As for the Ridgeline. Extended warranty until 2014, tranny included they don't need to know what happened to it ifthe tranny goes.
