What I will be towing...

The main reason I moved from my Tahoe to the 7.3l X is to tow my boat. Right now I keep the boat in a marina, but I start trailering it soon. Not any large distances, just to the boat ramp (in and out).

The boat is a 32' Sea Vee with twin 300 Mercury Verados. Not sure if many guys on here on into boats, but it's a pretty nice ride. It has JL Audio throughout, which most of you I am sure familiar with. 2 - 10" Subs, 6 - Component 7.7" and 2 JL amps. It rocks.

Sweet looking ride. Where is your home port?

Between the twin verados and the EX, you're keeping the oil companies happy.

We should have a "post your toys thread" I think lots of folks in here have boats, bikes, trailers, etc..

Tight lines and good times.

I live in Miami. It's pretty nice down here. If get in my boat and head 50 miles east, I am in the Bahamas.

Yes, this is the same boat as Jose Wejebe "The Spanish Fly" on ESPN except that his is a 34 with trips, mine is a 32 with twins. Same boat, same motors.

I hope you have the same kickin' JL Audio system in your boat as he has in his. That made the rough trip to the Tortugas a lot more bearable. Those SeaVEEs are some sweet boats.

Top end is 59mph lightly loaded.
I cruise anywhere from 35-45 depending on sea conditions and load. At cruise I am burning 1.2-1.5 MPG (combined both motors)

To get to Bimini, the first island of the Bahamas, it takes me under 2 hours. If I wanted to waste fuel I am sure I can do it in under and hour.

Here are a couple of videos if you have a few minutes:
