    4 wheel drive simply gives you traction. I have pulled 10000# rigs up a ramp with an 4 wheel drive durango for guys that couldnt move it with a F350 diesel duely because they were spinning. however yes, a 250 or even an extended heavy duty 150 would have a higher towing capacity. a 250 HD...

    3 batteries are 60-70# is 180-210#. Not 120 The Monterey most likely has a pump head vs macerator. So you are pumping at home or at the fuel docks and not dumping at sea

    Vista 275 2013 Mercury engine 350

    my guess is the fuel is crap like Bondo has you checking in post #7 and the engine is detecting a misfire or multiple misfires you made this statement. however where are your facts. 130 hours in a 10 year old boat means the boat sat for 3-4 years minimum. low hours is not really a good thing...

    1400 RPM loss from 13 to 15 pitch!!!

    Chaparral Signature 270 waste or black water tank

    look at RV waste tanks. most can be semi-custom made because they roto-mold the tank and spin-weld the fittings where you want them.

    1993 Bayliner capri 1750 vs 1998 Larson 186sei
