General Talk / Re: Towing capacity question
« on: April 12, 2021, 12:36:39 PM »
boat 1100
trailer 400 (assuming aluminum)


just don't put 7 people in the van. and it should be ok-enough. 
I tow my 19/20 foot CC with a highlander.  (5K towing capacity), with fuel and all its about 4K.  I did put EOH brakes on it, so it is now supersweet

I  think the Trailer is Galvanized Metal, may be 200lb+., van is Front 2 wheel drive, 4 peoples will be in the Van (+500lb). I know to much for the Van. Thanks

Thank you all for the advices. I used this Sienna Van to tow my 450lb rib boat seems very easy. I just checked with the Toyota manufacturer, my Sienna has the towing capacity is 2000lb (not 1100lb as I mentioned earlier). At 15 degree angle (assuming the angle of the road that I will tow), I believe the force pull back is approximate the same towing capacity, 2000lb.

Sienna towing capacity = 2000 Lb
Boat weight: 1100 lb
Towing angle (assuming) 15 degree or less.
Distance: vary ( for 15 degree, the distance is ~300 yards and other lower angles are Less than or equal 3 miles)

 My board is 2005 Boston whaler 130 super sport and it is exactly the same as pic (picture is not mine).

I cant say i would recommend it but i can tell you that i have towed my 15.5 aluminum with a 4 cylinder CRV.

I would say the trick is to know when to down shift to go up a hill as well as to down shift to slow your vehicle going down a hill and not burn up your brakes.

Safe travels.

Alex

Thanls Alex, I will give a try soon.

General Talk / Towing capacity question
« on: April 11, 2021, 03:12:49 PM »
Hi guys,
I have a question about towing capacity and hope some one experience will give me a good answer. I just bought a Boston whaler 13 feet around 1100lb and try to use the Sienna for towing it from home to Halfmoon Bay and back home in. The towing capacity for the my Sienna is 1100 LB. The is a deep slope at San Mateo when I go back home.

Question: Can my Sienna able to tow the boat through San Mateo Hill? I am not sure what angle of the hill is and do want to test because I do not want stuck at the middle of the freeway.

Thanks

FYI,
Hobie Revo + Ama kit is a good combination for ocean fishing. It worked well for me.

Nice kayak and good design same as Prowler 15 I still had. Today all the kayaks are big and heavy.

I grew up in Southern California and dove for corbina right in the surf.  I found the easiest was to be right behind the wave.  If you're actually in the surf you're going to get pounded by the waves and its going to roll you and rip things off.  Also you gotta be really careful in knowing your surf.  You're not paying attention to it, so you won't see any potential sleeper waves coming in.  You'll have to get a feeling for those.  Also polespears, belt stringer and short open heel fins are going to be your friends.  Other things is make sure you spear away from others as people's feet can be on the other side of that fish.

good luck!

Thanks, Can I use float + floating line in the Surf Zone? What thickness of the wet suite would you recommend?

Thank you for the information. Hopefully, I will give it a try soon.

Perch are everywhere don’t need to dive in the surf for them.
It’s probably easier along a reef or kelpy area.

Vis would be better too.

I think dive in the surf would be safer due to shallow water, sandy and near the beach so you have fun in the beach too and with other family members.
