    Pulling with a Toyota Tacoma 4cyl?

    So I have a 17ft blue fin sportsman, according to some searching online it weight somewhere in between 1500-2000 lbs. I currently have a 03' F350 Pickup that is my work truck and my daily driver. Obviously that truck has no problem pulling the boat (don't even know it's back there), but I'm...
