I am kinda new to this , can't seem to get a picture to post , anyone out there can tell me how to get a Jpg to post with the text?? I've uploaded a picture but notta?

I am also very curious on the weight of that big boat (that size might actually be defined as a ship). I haul a 10,000 pound travel trailer, sometimes with 1200 lbs in the bed. I can't believe the difference of diesel hauling power compared to my gasser.

What did that 1970 something set you back about $2,500.00 or so.):h ):h ):h
I would be willing to bet you just about anything that your "jet drive" boat will not go 85MPH. In fact it maybe will hit 65-68 mph tops. Sorry, some of us do know what a jet can and cannot do. Let me guess, you have about $7,500.00 in the pump alone, Right???????????????????????????????
Lets post more accurate info here, this is not a bragggggging site.

oh ya on the second edit: welcome to the diesel place. only a select few are Censored holes! everyone else is extremely helpful. sorry for such a bad first impression.:rant:

If our Nissan breaks I might tow it up to Twin Falls, ID for service. Aside from that I don't tow jack. Simply liked the truck and wanted to try the DMax instead of a gasser. Glad I did and will buy another about half way thru the engine warranty.

Nice stuff! Here's a normal day in my neighborhood.

Glh,

Nice boat. I pull a Formua 280ss, our boats share the same founding father!

That's a BIGGGG boat! :eek:

I normally tow around our vette, sometimes with a 11.5' camper in the bed. At speeds of up to 100mph. :D Opppsss... take that back, I think I hit 103mph last outing.

my dad almost sank a 1972 jet boat several years ago. 18' V bottom. got a waterski rope cought in the intake. my dad took the CAP of the jet drive off to get it out while we were in the middle of the lake! all of the sudden, there was a hole in the bottom of the boat the size of a coffee can. he was racing to pull the rope through and capped it just in time. we had everyone on the tip of the bow to keep the rush of water from coming over the rear transom. we prob had 30 seconds left.

turns out that it might have been better if it sank... my dad still has it in storage and it has worn into very sorry shape :(

Probably 1 gallon a minute at WOT.

The best day of my life was when I bought my boat.
The second best day is when I sold it. ;)

Let's get serious. If you had a 42' Cigarette, wouldn't YOU be towing it with a loaded Dmax? A Dodge or Ford would just not be fitting. :D

Your sig is not exactly the definition of modesty...

No, nothing like that at all, just tried of him posting about this very nice boat. This is the second time with a look at my boat post. Come on, the first post I think I even stated something like "very cool". I guess some people need the extra attention and other are cool with just a little attention. No big deal with me, I just wanted to say how I felt. Just for the record, I love your boat and I am sure it cost tons of money. Just don't know how many time you need or want to hear how cool it is.

dwrat. I guess not everyone can have as nice of $#@! as you. Apparently you don't know everything about jet drives. Any time your in michigan and you want to go on a 85mph ride you let me know.

Kroutman, I wil be in that area July 15-22. I will take you up on that offer/bet. Please PM your info and lets see if we can get this done. I did not say a jet cannot do 85 mph, it is just VERY rare for one to even hit 75 mph unless you have dumped some serios cash in it.

And of cource you would have a serious problem with that:eek:

Guy's, am I the only one that feels like the next step is dumpster diving? :confused:

dlh has a total of 13 posts on the DP. I went back and read them and IMHO like many, heck most of us, he's done nothing more than express his excitement with his new truck and wants to post what he is pulling with it. :D

Granted 99.9% of us DP members likely can't afford that boat since it cost more than most houses, yea put JJ in there to, but dlh can and we should respect that. ;) Doesn't matter if he paid cash or is paying monthly, like many of us he obviously likes his toys! :ro)

It's not too late to bring this thread back in line with our normal DP standards. :) Most of us will never meet face-to-face, we forge these "internet" relationships based upon a common interest, our trucks! It's so easy to state something on the forum that doesn't represent our true intent and step on toes, OR just have a bad moment and not choose our words too closely. :o: Let's just say that's what happened on this thread and move on. ;)

Kroutman/dwrat, nothing wrong with a well intentioned gentlemens wager, especially if it entails a nice boat ride to boot! ):h Hopefully the loser takes the high ground and buys the first cold one. :grd:

Almost forgot, dlh what kind of wheels and what size tires are on your friends dually. I have that same color and I really like the looks they bring to that truck! JJ's out! :)

Boats #9800
Trailer #2050

Use to pull it with a 2002 V-10 Excursion getting 5MPG, pulling with the D-Max I get around 8.5mpg but this has only been local, no long strech on the highway yet, I expect in the high 9's mpg then. We usually take two trips to FL one in Nov. one in Feb. pulling for 3000 miles down and back and the Ex worked fine locally but on for the long highway rides it was borderline safe. I got the boat back last Feb with a freinds dually and there was no going back to towing with the Excursion after that.

Thanks for the good words.

Kroutman/Nice Jet ride most of those I've seen are out west not many of those up North or East

formula280ss / Don A. the man!

Workedforit/ No need for fuel but if your ever up in backwards Vermont your more than welcome to come for a ride. Just drop a line.

I'm up in the backwards (backwoods?)of VT quite often,right in the Burlington area, drop it in Lake Champlain huh? About your only option :D

People have no idea of the size of the lake ;)

Maybe some day I'll see you. I'll buy our fuel you buy the boat fuel and tell you a story Ice Fishing with my Gramps (may he RIP) and he telling me to keep my hand on the door handle in case we have to leave her in a probably 5K Plymouth Fury :eek:



Mister if that don't scare the pants off a youngster which I was at the time,with the ice "ping"

I just got my truck and I intend to use it to pull a 26' flatbed trailer with 4 fullsize atvs. Maybe one in the bed. Other times, it will be used to pull a bobcat 763 with a 709 backhoe attachment, a bucket, auger, forks. Probably around the 10,000 lb. range

I'm up in the backwards (backwoods?)of VT quite often,right in the Burlington area, drop it in Lake Champlain huh?We were in yesterday and today. So pretty much every week end till October! Just email or PM for my cell phone and next time your up if we can line it up lets go for a ride.

Glh,

About a year ago I was driving to my boat and pulled in for some fuel. I see a boat just like yours pulled by a Bummer H2! Mind you we are driving up I-294 North of Chicago. Turns out the guy is going to my home port.

The but end of the Bummer was almost dragging the ground with that much weight. Latter that day, I did see that the guy made it one piece, but the boat would not start!

If the title of this thread was 'what are you haulin', I'd say hauling some a$$! ):h But since it's not, I'm pulling a 26ft. Chaparral Sunesta. Nothing like that sweet 42 footer :eek: :ro) , but it gets the job done! :D

I bought my Duramax to tow my 26 foot powerboat primarily. I also sail boats at a local sailing club. I'm now quite popular as a crew choice, as people have realized I have the only truck in the club that can tow a 30footer easily. I get lots of free beer, especially around launch and haul out.

First long distance tow with the power boat, I was worried about a long hill I knew of along the route...about 3 miles long, maybe 5 percent. Anyhow, I wanted more truck than was really needed, just so I would have no trouble towing 7000 lbs+ trailer. Hit this hill at 100 kph and the truck did not even pop out of overdrive..the turbo just spooled up gently and up the hill we went. Just awesome.

It's a crew cab, so the other good use for it is big road trips, travelling to sailing regattas, towing as many racing dinghies behind it that I can. Recently drove to Chicago to bring 2 16 foot sailboats back to Canada...two guys round the clock driving, one guy can sleep in the back no sweat. Great road trip rig.

Latter that day, I did see that the guy made it one piece, but the boat would not start!I know a couple guys that pull with Hummers they fool themselves into thinking it goes well but a Hummer is rated at something like #7000 for trailering, and anything above 30 ft boat wise will be over that. If an accident happens the first thing his insurance company will check is if he was over the limit and then weasel out of paying any claim.
I think he's taking a big risk.

im pulln a 29ft aljo superslide 8000lbs plus 2 quads an a motor cycle in my bed still pulls sweet

You can see from my sig what I am towing. From my board name you can tell that once completed, I will be towing my friend's 43'4" Sunsation F4 (assuming it comes in at 10,500 lbs dry as planned). And yes, he paid cash for it. Heck, if ya got it, I have no problem with ya flaunting it! Nice boat GLH. Your avitar looks familiar from OSO.

Now thats a nice looking boat,glh. I hope you are injoying it.
I purchased the truck to put our 34' Airstream and it pullls and handles it very will. Had a 6.5 GMC, just didn't have it on the hills. Safety first is what I think when pulling a heavy load, for me and the other folks on the road.
:grd:

It's not a 40 foot cigarette, but at least the colors match.
Tows in at about 6000 lbs which I know a bit too light for the Max. Can't even tell she's back there.

The Duramax replaced a 91 K1500 when I blew the transmission on one of my 400 mile one way trips to Lake Powell. The drive used to take 8-8.5 hours with 3 gas stops. Did it Sunday in less than 7 hours with two fuel stops, and I had stopped for fuel about 70 miles short on the way down. :ro)
Life is good

Only haulin' a$$ here!!

I am towing a 2005 28' Airstream International CCD. 14.5 mpg while towing the silver bullet! That looks like awesome milage while pulling how much does that thing weight?

Here's what I pull - 6x6x12 Cargo Express. Sometimes only containing my golf cart and incidentals - sometimes loaded to the max!

That looks like awesome milage while pulling how much does that thing weight?

It weighs about 5600 empty and is GVWR is 7300. I was probably at about 6100 for the trip home from the dealer (150 miles ) when I recorded this mileage. Airstreams are noted for their aerodynamic qualities, and it seems to be true.
:D

VERY nice boat glh! :)

I pull a 32' ATC (Aluminum Trailer Company) car hauler -

I reference to the post on page 1... I paid cash for this :)

and also 23' Chaparelle bowrider powered by a 496 (8.1) big block. This is a dingy compared to the other boat.

Own this one too :)

Doesn't matter if a person owns what he has or is paying the bank for the rest of his life (and longer). It's all about having it and enjoying it. That's why I have the :) after my comments above.

My question here is: who gives a **** how the guy got it?

I take crap all the time because I'm a college kid driving a new diesel truck--what business is it of theirs? The last time I checked, I'm the only one paying for it, and I don't feel that I've negatively impacted anyone else's life by having a nice pickup.

So, with that being said: Congratulations on everyone's toys!

Most of the time, it's just pulling its own weight around, but every now and then I get a project done, and it gets to haul it home for them..

I had to take the WW in to have some warranty items checked, but you could go to any WW dealer, Giant RV is the only place I know of 'round here, and measure between the wheel wells. My jeep has stock width axles, but I added 3.75 inch offset wheels and 32x10.5" tires... The tires must stick out past the flares 3" on each side, and it slides in with about 2" on each side.

Otherwise I will have the trailer back on Thursday, and could measure for you.

Lets see: Two Z-Traks or two JD 495's and on the real busy days the old dodge gets stuck pulling those around and the D-max pulls a T 200 bobcat with the bucket and the power rake on the front of the trailor. The bobcat and trailor together weigh in at just under 10,000 lbs.

glh, that is a sick boat!!!!!!!!!!! dont mind what dwrat said, if i had a boat like that i would be just as excited as im sure you are. As you can see the very large majority of us ARE very courtious. good luck

See GL... I told you that you'd like this site....;)

It's amazing the kinds of people that beat on computers all day...-:t

Yes, the boat is impressive, but you'd really get thiese guys going if you extended your trailer to cary a CJ7 or two ATVs in front of the boat...:eek:

This is what i pulled with my D max before my employer ***'d me out of 30k... (GLH knows what I'm talking about)
Look at me!!! (Oh, schiz...I don't have it any more...:D

Nice Pantera, Tim G.

Pulling a spankin new 30' Raptor toy hauler. 100gals of H20, 3 ATV's and my trusty XR650L. Oh yeah, fuel station too. Too bad it isn't a double station, one for gas, one for the smokey stuff. Oh well. BTW, its financed thru the nose and paid for by your tax dollars! THANKS GUYS!

Need to see some pictures of this rig. 53' is what the big rigs pull, very impressive.:thumb: How many of you guys pull close to the limit or dare I say over the limit for these trucks? How do they handle at these loads?

My 30' Toyhauler is rated at 13k fully loaded (h20, fuel, toys, food, etc). I'm running a 2500hd CC with the Juice/Attitude and I swapped out the factory hitch for a Class V with W/D hitch. I haul over Julian from San Diego to Ocotillo and it pulls like a freekin freight train. Every now and again the EGT on the Juice bleeps. I ordered the Kennedy 4"/5" exhaust to alleviate some of that and will report, but otherwise I'm one happy dude!

It's not as big or as heavy as some of your toys buy here it is.

I figured out how to do the pics. Here's the trailer behind my old truck. Haven't got the hitch installed in the new truck yet. The truck is not squatting. The rear ale is in a shallow ditch.

Here is some of mine.

WOW again Very Cool Rides!!!!!!

Hey, I think everyone has nice toys - so here's mine - we built the trailer & the hot rod that's riding on it. The total load is about 9000 lbs. No air bags, no bars - bone stock Dmax - smooth, stable, and still hauls butt!!! I love my truck almost as much as I love my hot rod.:ro)

5er in sig. 14.6K unloaded 18,700 lbs trailer gross.

Origionally posted "Who cares what you got!!!! why don't you just post "LOOK at my boat everyone" It is only financed for 360 months and I feel like a big shot. Before you even try to say " I paid cash for it" Think again and take it to a BRAGGGGGGING POST.

I know this is 5th wheel and toy hauler country...but I'm gonna jump in here too. :)


It's nice to see GLH and Tim G. here. It's a great forum guys. Has proved a valuable resource both before and since I ordered my truck.

I see another forum member has put a dark cloud over this thread with a BS post. :boxing:

The truck has gotten a phat round tube s/s grill, a big Gibson exhaust tip, and a couple other things since this pic.
The boat? Well, that's the real $ eater ):h ...but It's what I love to do the most. I must, 'cause in this part of the country (as GLH will tell you) we sit out 8 months of winter for 4 months of boating! :help:

Its what we on the farm call $hit.

Truck with 40' KountryAire... combined weight of 16,500.

Dan

Car haulers, boats, horse trailers, travel trailers and anything else with a trailer hitch. Largest was a 48 ft car hauler and heaviest was a 31 ft luxury horse trailer listing for $98,000.00. It weighed approx 13,500 lbs. On the AZ scale GCWR was 21,900 and I was not quite full of fuel. At fill-up I was over 22,000 lbs. I also hauled a 5th wheel that was about that same weight. Others were in a variety of sizes around that. I haul for individuals and manufacturers. I have driven 39,500 miles since 2/10/05. Mine gets plenty of towing.

I tow a 37' Coachmen Sommerset Dreamcatcher three slide...was towing it with a 2500HD ex/cab/LB/D/A...traded for the 3500 when incentives came out from GM..worked for me...Got the dually because I knew I was over on GVWR by approx. 500lbs..bothered me...BUT the 2500 never batted an eyelash at the load.

Here is what I will be pulling.

After seeing some pics on this thread I feel like my poor Dmax doesn't get to work hard enough. I pull a lawn trailer that is probably about 2500lbs loaded and a jet ski that can't be close to 1000lbs. Hopefully one day I'll be dragging around a boat like glh.

Summer add on.

Note to dwart, only the 21 year old red thing is paid for. :):):)

There you go again, the topic is what are you pulling with your D-max. As I stated in my first response, take it to a bragging post.
Come on dude did you grow up very poor with no toys at all and now that you have some nice toys you want everyone to see them?
We all love your boat and think it is very nice, but how many times does everyone need to reassure you?
TAKE IT TO A BRAGGING POST!!!!!!!! please.

tow a 36 foot Cedar Creek condo weighs about 14000lbs loaded truck handles it fine love it.

If our Nissan breaks I might tow it up to Twin Falls, ID for service. Aside from that I don't tow jack. Simply liked the truck and wanted to try the DMax instead of a gasser. Glad I did and will buy another about half way thru the engine warranty.

Hey 108. When are you in Elko? I see you post a lot. Just wondering since I'm a new owner in Elkoville and you're the first one from here I've seen on the list.

I pull broken chevy trucks to the dealer. They usually have busted front steering/suspension, trashed allison auto or some stupid computer problem.

Trashed Allison ...lost me right there.

That is because he is a troll trying to stir up trouble.

He drives a 92 Dodge...so his post is irrevelant as the topic is what do you pull with your duramax.

Is this what you dream about all day while you're flipping burgers? ):h

I don't want to brag but I pull the wife. Paid with cash , with credit cards and bank loans. She still wants me to accessorize her.:ro)

What is the heavest scaled weight (truck + trailor + load) has any one pulled? 34,800 for me got **** fuel milage but no problems.

28" Seasport.

Salmonbum, Is that sign attached to the top of your boat or did you just park in front of it for the picture? :D :D :D

finally got some pics of truck/trailer together

Wildcat 28RK. Not that heavy of a load compared to most things post here. 17,100 lbs. GCW.

34ft Wilderness TT 9000lbs pulled with 04 GMC lb7 crew 2wd short bed. Just towed 8600 miles across country, great job buy truck. I was a little disapointed at towing mileage ( 11-11.5 ) because mileage every day is out of site, 19-21.

here is a picture of my truck with a heavy load.My John Deere 8200 on the trailer. Sorry had to link it??
:hail:
All I got to say is that I feel sorry for that trailer! Looks like it was flexing a bit. That load definately takes the cake....I KNOW the 8200 is heavy. Kinda makes pulling a boat around seem like carrying my 3 year old son piggy back!
Awesome pics in your album.

Nice truck and trailer!

mille-ryan, what's that trailer that the bobcat's on rated for? It looks pretty small. Was pulling the 773 bobcat around today. Trailer and cat about 7500 pounds. I like my fifth wheel/gooseneck trailer better, as they just distribute the weight on the axle and not on your rear end. Truck pulls the weight really good though.

Bullydog, the trailer is rated at 12000 lbs and I think that cat was weihging in around 6000 lbs or so.I didnt really like pulling it , it felt weird.I had to take a mdel 2 sizes up to my father in law with that trailer and it weighed like 8200-8500 lbs, and it towed great, now it took up a lot of damm trailer too,lol.I had borrowed the trailer for work, so I wasnt *****in.

http://www.bmdmax.com/images/tow.jpg

Just picked this up on Monday, 06 Thor Vortex 365WTB SS toy hauler. I also tow a 03 Monterey 218LS boat.

BMDMAX,
What does that hoe weigh? I see you have an aluminum trailer so must be around 1000 lbs lighter than steel. Am wondering if its safe to pull a Case 570 or approximate w/ my 2500 and a steel gooseneck. Any info appreciated.

The hoe weighs in around 8K. My older steel equipment trailer handled the weight just fine but it was really too short to effectively tow it well.

My aluminum trailer will handle a 12K load so subtracting the trailer weight (2,600 pounds) you get a 9,400 pound payload capacity. I was shooting for 10K payload so I got pretty close with the setup.

The newer Case 570 loaders weigh in at about 10,000 pounds. They have been around forever and I don't know if the older ones weigh any less. 10K would be a safe assumption. You need to check the trailers GVWR on the label to see what the axles are rated for. Take that weight, subtract the trailer weight and that will tell you if you can safely load the 570. You should still be okay on the GCVWR if the trailer can handle the load. How big is your steel gooseneck trailer?

We havent bought it yet,still waiting on a house to sell,just doing some research so that i get the right equipment the first time.Probably looking at an 18' or so w/ beavertail,gooseneck,deckover

Past experience for me has been that whenever I was buying a trailer for what I thought was the right length, I should have gotten one 5' longer.

Just picked this up on Monday, 06 Thor Vortex 365WTB SS toy hauler. I also tow a 03 Monterey 218LS boat.
how much did you pay for your 5th wheel?

how much did you pay for your 5th wheel?

$35K with the hitch installed.

Pop's truck and fiver.

http://img419.imageshack.us/img419/5202/5erfromside16ze.jpg

This was the first time he had his new truck hooked up to the fiver. It's a 30' Shasta Phoenix (300FL) front living room. Sucker is WIDE!!! Lots of room even without slides! We just wanted to check lights and brakes and bedrail clearance...all that good stuff. It didn't go anywhere of significance, maybe 2 feet forward, then back to where it normally sits, or I'd be up on the roof putting a new TV antenna on!!

Mine, well...let's just say it earns it's keep by hauling my fat *** around and to work and back. The turbo sure needs to spool on the highway to keep me runnin' down the road. ):h ):h :D 'Specially when you're running 80 and you just hear a constant whistle. THAT is cool!

Wow,
how heavy is that load Salmonbum?

I'm sorry, I just saw it now..... I'm guessing about 12-13K with a good amount of fuel on board
