We'll be towing the Whaler about 1800-2000 miles on one trip we're in the early stages of planning. Some of that (about 1/3) will be in open water, so I don't want to have any issues with the boat's hardware.
My first thought on the distance you plan on towing is sheer amazement. My second thought on the tow eye option offered by BW is disbelief. I think the beefed up hardware on the outside of the hull, even if matched by corresponding hardware on the inside is only going to be as sound as the hull itself.
The experts have chimed in plenty on the correct tow line setup. No argument there. BUT I cannot help wonder what shape the boat will be in at the end of the trip. 1800-2000 miles over open water. Please pardon me....I am still shaking.
