    Maybe drain the ballast before you put it on the trailer.


    sorry....couldn't resist.

      I meant that I wouldn't feel comfortable towing it with my 5.7l Yukon. Maybe with new brakes/suspension and some sort of weight transfer device.

        gride - you know you love that Yukon - that thing lives to tow!

        A 4x4 Yukon with a 5.3 and 3.73 can tow what about 7500# - that should be plenty right?

          What is the top speed of the G23 with the 550?

                  Haha .. I got the OME heavy duty suspension. Pulled my 2005 226 over the mountains like a champ! Hardly any sagging in the rear. Im sure the extra 1500 lbs will be fine!

                    I'm sorry I was thinking of my boats engine. I do have the 5.3l with 3.73 gearing tow package. I just got home from towing my 210 on a tandem trailer with half a tank in the boat and I barely notice it. I would want some awesome trailer discs too.

                      What do you think the MAX speed of the G23 will be with the XS550? Will it get up and cruise like a nautique should when the ballast is empty?

                        max sustained cruise speed per PCM's guidelines is at 4k rpm. to that end, i am sure it will cruise at 4k rpm just like any boat should, hahaha....

                          Yes, but also depends on the prop blade angles ....

                            page 56 of the 2010 PCM manual under Engine Specifications advises that the maximum cruise RPM for a 5.0L is 3800 rpm, and the 5.7L and above is 4000 rpm. nowhere does it reference "blade angles," or pitch, which by definition is the displacement a propeller makes in a complete spin of 360° degrees. blade angle, which varies along the blade length, along with cup, diameter and blade shape all contribute to pitch.

                              Okay but the cruising speed of a boat depends on pitch and rotational speed of the prop. A boat with a speed prop will go faster than one with a power prop which is built more for pulling torque...

                              Just curious if the cruising speed of the G23 with the XS550 will be similar to the 230?
