Nobody ever considers the resale value on the back side of the equation. The
Cummins choice could
well have been 'free', were that considered.
My Dodge Cummins
Is this like the dragon boats you are referring to?

Our 2006 Sprinter had a towing capacity of 5000LBS. The boat in tow was our
personal boat, a Tracker Party Deck 21 I/O which was near the 5000LB towing
capacity. The dragon boats were between 600 and 900LBs each, and with 4 on the
club trailer, the Ram 2500 Cummins was definitely up to the task
Seems like that would be less than 5K even after you stuff the entire crew in
the van.
My Hobie Cat is about 700lb sitting on the trailer. Only way you knew it was
back there when towing it with a Plymouth Horizon was it acted like a parachute
above 45mph. But 93hp was plenty to overcome that,
Looks like rated towing capacity for an '06 Sprinter is 5000 lbs.

Looks like a dragon boat is only 600 lbs or so, which is very light for a boat
on a trailer. My sailboat is 1500 lbs.

IIRC he switched from 6BT Cummins
Looks like a deal similar to what Rick found, but without the tailgate
lift. Kaleb needs to get one of these.
How much are they rated for towing? Are hitches available? Maybe I need
one too?
