My truck has 245hp my boat 250hp. Perfectly ok right?. My wife thinks I might have a slight water speed problem. I explained that the faster we get there the longer we can fish. Good enough reasoning,right? Besides you can't have too much horsepower can you?

Nice boat motor but it sounds like your truck motor sucks. lol

You're asking on a fishing forum, you're ok. But if this was a car forum you'd be toast

sounds like you need to upgrade the truck now

Does the boat go faster than the truck?

Nope, you can't have that. Now you have to go buy a bigger truck!

Personnaly, I think both are short on hp.

When I feel like wiping the grin off a bunch of Triton drivers, I have two motors, I play with. One is 318 hp @ 6,100 rpm, the other is 326 hp @ 6,200 rpm. Either one will push my 20 Javelin over 80 mph with two people, livewell full and full gear and plenty of gas. My next project I'm considering is a 3.3 Rude @ 450 hp.

For a tow truck, put a twin tubo's with six inch exhaust on a DuraMax. That'll take care of any hp and torque numbers anyone could want for tow vehicle.

I've probably read hundreds of your posts. At no time did I ever get an inkling that you were a gearhead speed nut! Just when ya think ya know somebody! Lol.

You've inspired a new post idea!

I deleted my long answer because I realized I had kinda hijacked someone else's post, but the short answer is: Yes I am, big time, and have been since I was a kid. I can put "The Tool Man" to shame.

Thats about a good ratio. And please don't take this the wrong way; BUT It always make me smile when I see a guy pulling a 20ft ranger,skeeter,etc with a rusty old beat up truck. It's nice to see his priority's are similar to mine.
