How do you figure the slack for the boom guys? thanksKai Landowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270886274001361343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9059975009563057537.post-67771387302405942182016-07-16T08:39:11.917-04:002016-07-16T08:39:11.917-04:00I noticed you are hauling that with a Sequoia.

Thoughts?

It'...The Sequoia is a 2003 with a 4.7 liter V8. It's not really designed to trailer loads as heavy as this boat (and trailer). The primary issue, as I understand it, is the transmission. I've not had any problems with the Sequoia trailering this boat short distances locally. For long distance trailering I'd like to have a larger truck, e.g., the Chevy 2500, the Ford 250, or one of the newer Tundras that's designed for trailering larger loads. Having said this, I do know of two E25 owners who have used older F150s to trailer their boats long distances. One retrofitted a transmission cooler. One did not. Neither had any problems. Best of luck.
