24' Sea Ray. 4,700 lbs dry, 6,600 fully fueled on cat scales. Very spongy in the rear but never felt out of control or nervous at 55mph. It stays in the water, only pull it out to work on it and clean it but if I was going as far and frequently as you I would get something bigger.I have been researching and absorbing everything I can about the 2019 Ranger and I am contemplating ordering a 2020 Ranger. We use our boat a lot. It is a SeaRay on a single axle trailer. Fully loaded with gear and gas this boat and trailer weigh exactly 4000 pounds (had it on a scale). I currently tow it with a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 with a 6.0 V8 and 3.73 rear end.
We tow frequently to a lake that is 12 miles away. Twice a year we tow to lakes about 270 miles away. I'm thinking the Ranger will probably do fine with this boat but would like to hear opinions from any forum members that tow trailers in this weight range. An F-150 would be nice but they have grown very large and no longer fit comfortably in our garage.
I have already learned a lot from this forum. Thanks.
