John-
I live in Aurora, so not too far away... Thanks for the compliments! It really wasn't any worse pulling with the boat on the back of the 5er than without. The only difference was I had to wait longer when passing, both for an openning and for moving back over. My buddy played "spotter" and would let me know when it was safe to move over via 2 way radio's. I couldn't see the boat behind the camper, so I had to make mental visual aids in the mirror when I was told it was safe to move over so I could pass at will. The boat tracks behind the camper very well and I noticed I didn't have to swing any wider so the boat wouldn't hit curbs and such. This is probably due to the fact the back of the 5er swings out pretty far during a turn, so it pushes the front of the boat out for the turn.
While we were stuck in Springs traffic, we joked how a half mile of the traffic was me!!! hehehehehe We had nothing better to do while we were stuck in all that mess....
Not to brag, but I really didn't notice any acceleration difference with the extra 4,000lbs. I did however turn up the prodigy boost for saftey and never once had a problem with braking. Nice and smooth.
We should try to get some type of Colorado get together going...those CT boys have me jealous!!!
