ABoater Admiral Registered: 02/04/04 Posts: 906 Loc: San Francisco Bay Area	I always thought it was cool to have a tow vehicle that matched your boat (or vice-versa). For example, a flame red pickup towing a red boat on a red trailer. Too much red??? Got any pics to share?

HotByte Admiral Registered: 01/17/03 Posts: 7340 Loc: Barnesville, GA	I probably posted in Kenhdog's thread but it never hurts to do it again... Durango and boat. Daughter is driving Durango now. We still pull boat with it when pulling 5'er with truck to lake campground. 2500HD and boat No picture but admiral drives a red New Beetle convertible. Haven't tried towing boat with it though Edited by HotByte (05/17/08 05:20 AM) _________________________ 2002 Glastron GX205 & 2005 Pilgrim 276BHSS 5'er 2005 Chevy 2500HD LT Duramax TD & 1998 Dodge Durango SLT

Frantically Relaxing Never get out of the boat Admiral Registered: 02/07/03 Posts: 5876	The Winnie-toon rig was close, but no cigar. No pics of the Bayliner in tow yet, but it don't match the truck or the current MH either! Guess I just ain't got NO fashion sense! _________________________ Boating is not a matter of Life or Death.

Justification Admiral Registered: 01/13/03 Posts: 2230 Loc: Fruit Heights, Utah	Originally Posted By: ABoater For example, a flame red pickup towing a red boat on a red trailer. Too much red??? How's this My first boat and it's tow vehicle. My current boat and it's tow vehicle. Sorry to disappoint with the white trailer. No such thing as too much red. _________________________ This is grain, which any fool can eat, but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption.
