Re: Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!
Nice rigs.
BB I'm always looking. I'm still trying to find my boat with 5.7 and a duo - Almost impossible... doesn't mean i don't look everyday.

You could call cobalt to see if they ever made one? I would not think that they did. Really your boat with the right prop is the ticket. Yes steering and backing is nicer with dps. One prop is still cheaper than two.

I've seen one but it was in shit shape. Don't know if the 5.7 was factory or not either.
I love mine - I'll prop her right.

Getting her ready to go for the year.....2015 Sierra SLT with the 6.2L hooked up to a 2001 263. The previous two rig, 2014 Silverado with the 5.3 did awesome. I can't wait for the first towing trip to see how well the Max Trailering Package will tow.

Re: Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!
When we first towed our boat, we used this Tahoe. It towed with the nose a little high, so we've since gotten a drop hitch to use with it.
We store our boat in a facility near the lake where we boat. When we camp there, we need to use this Jeep to get the boat a few miles from the storage unit to the lake. It does fine power-wise, but is a little light when backing down the ramp. It can slide slightly while backing if the ramp is pretty wet. I figure when we hit the water, it'll stop. (Just kidding.)

Re: Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!
Here's a photo of the motorhome. We leave our boat in a storage unit at the lake (3 hours away), so when we want to boat, we drive our camper down and stay a few days. We drag the Jeep behind the motorhome and then once we are there, we tow the boat around with the Jeep.
