They are a Chevy one ton truck chassis underneath a big aluminum body and
a GVW of 14K. Not as powerful as your 06 but no slouch either.

Might want to have them watch the DoveBid auctions and get a Frito Lay
vanWould work great for that and the Cummins powered ones get
close to 30MPG loaded.
Do you think one of these Cummins 4BT or 4BTA equipped vans could be fully
loaded and pull 6500# worth of boats behind it?

Luckily, nothing has happened while people's personal vehicles have been
transporting gear and boats. However, up until recently, there was no such
insurance which infuriated me! The question came up at a board meeting (how
much insurance do we have, and does it cover personal vehicles even if
I would be wondering what the board had in mind for insurance
coverage should there be an unfortunate event in which truck was
involved in fatal misfortune while boats were hauled. Not the time
to be figuring out who is getting screwed. One non-profit I work
with is finding out it is bett
Go with the commercial body Sprinter and get the open box rear for
that classic VW pick up look. I have seen a few around town. The
first one just blew me away. They drop a box van back on them, so
the truck should be able to haul what you need it too.

Yes it was the 3.3 with OD. He figured out that when the tranny get's a

for it and away you go without a typically not needed tranny

What would it cost for the club to rent a tow vehicle on race weekend?
Surely less than the cost of somebody owning a late model large truck.

Sprinters are nice, but I'm not sure if they are worth the money.

Great points, Mike. Wifey and I do feel the same way and don't want
ourselves or our truck to be involved with EVERY transport just because it's
big and powerful enough. The board member previously discussed does help

member who said "what happens if you're truck wasn't available or if you
suddenly didn't want it anymore? He won't buy a larger travel trailer since
it will require a Diesel to pull it, and this would make him the next one
with the job to pull the boats
Well, we've had a change of heart. Wifey is the Vice President of the
local dragon boat club, and also happens to be the only one or who's spouse
has a large enough and powerful enough truck to pull the trailerand boats.
The total weight is around 8000#. The organization is too cheap to get a
