[Rhodes22-list] A Tow Veh. question.

[Bob Weber]

Rob, I have owned a boat since I was 16 and have never owned a tow veh.  I 
am getting a little tired of borrowing.  Plus I know I am taking a trip this 
summer to Mich. and the brother with the truck is taking his truck elsewhere 
that week.  I am seriously considering buying new just to get the warrentee 
on the tranny.  Bob
