Thanks for the good words.
The sailboat is another project. It's in the middle of a re-rig and re-paint.
Sanding the hull sucks.
My ultimate goal combines the truck and the boat, in spirit. I'm working towards a 35-45' boat that is blue water ready and equipped for an around the world trip.
Someday.....

Someday..... Since you live in CO, I can see why your montero will be critical for towing it to the ocean. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure the truck would be up for towing the boat I REALLY want, as it will weigh somewhere around 50k lbs. Probably a bad idea to tow with the Monty....

That is what low range is for.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

You don't need the front tires touching the ground to tow.
