I've got the 6x9 mirrors and have that towing package but i guess i'll need
to get one of those adapter things from my truck lights to the trailer lights
huh? Thanks though I would never have thought of checking the trailer out
especially for a spare! I am completelt ignorant about towing, man what a
moron i am!

Last winter, I picked up a brand new boat (19 foot low profile Jetboat/454
chevy) in Amarillo TX and trailered it back to Indiana (over 1000 miles),
with gas and pee breaks only. My suggestions are as follows - if you don't
have the large 6x9 mirrors, do yourself a favor and get them. Get a
reciever
hitch if you don't already have one. As far as 5th gear - tow in 5th on the
flat stretches, and shift into 4th only when necessary, up hills, etc. Make
sure the boat trailer has a spare tire and the hubs are in good condition
(bearing buddies are best). Put a heavy duty signal flasher unit in the
truck, to keep the turn signals on the trailer and truck working at normal
speed. If you use a regular flasher, the signals will blink very rapidly.
Take your time and keep a good eye on your side view mirrors for problems
with the trailer and to keep it between the lines. Don't expect to get any
decent mileage. Have fun.
