The H2 has a stock Tranny Cooler built into the radiator. Right?

How the hell did I miss this? Oh my. That looks fast.
We'll need speed when we're illegally emptying out them commercial crab traps.

That trailer most likely has surge brakes so you won’t need a brake controller. But I would check if it has disk brakes, if so you will need to make sure that you wire up the reverse lights to the brakes backup lockout solenoid so that you can backup. Drum brakes will slip when you backup but disk brakes will lock up, so there is a solenoid that stops the brake fluid from going to brakes when you backup.
Make sure that you bring a seven pin plug with you that you can wire if it does not already have one. The reverse lights are on one of the seven pins on the H2.

Re: Just bought a 26' boat - will my H2 have any prob towing with stock setup
I posted a similar response to another thread regarding towing capacity. I have towed a 33' powerboat with both gas tanks full on the boat (200 gallons). I estimate the weight to have been about 8,000lbs total, and my truck did just fine. On the highway I got between 8 and 9 MPG, with the A/C on. It would definitely downshift going up any hill, and the steepest hill near my house caused it to downshift to 2nd, but that was the worst of it.
P.S. This is my friend's boat and it happens to be for sale right now (if interested, check out www.33powerplay.com).
