2002 f350 7.3 Crew Cab Dually & 2000 Chaparral sig 300
Hey guys, hope all is well....
Ok I've decided to pull my boat out this winter and park it at my house, I was able to pick up a Venture VABT12625 trailer (triple axle weight capacity 12625 lbs) the chaparral dry weight is at 9800lbs the actual size of the boat is 29'2"
Just want to make sure my dually is capable of pulling my boat about 15-20 Miles to my house. Please let me give me some tips and advise of towing a 10ft beam boat.
I've looked on the Net and there are so many different post of how much weight a dually can pull.
I've towed my 89 regal ambassador 250 all over, so I have some experience in towing.
My hitch receiver is OEM, should I upgrade to a reese V or VI?
thanks in advance

How much does that trailer weigh? what braking system is on that trailer?
That's going to be key to this situation.
15-20 miles, if it was me, I wouldn't worry too much about being a little overloaded or beyond published specifications. But braking capacity of trailer would be my biggest worry.
