[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 860930, member: 52972"] Jenn, The engine and suspension should be able to handle the 5300 lbs tow. And since you live in Florida, I assume you will not be towing the boat up and mountains...LOL You should do fine, just remember that your braking distances will be much longer even with trailer brakes. If you tow the boat often, be sure to do more frequent maintenace like tranny flushes, oil changes, and collant checks. Also, be sure to check you trailer's wheel bearings. They are notorious for eating up bearings especially when you put your boat in salt water. ...Richard [/QUOTE]
