Hooked up the Grady white and launched her today to get her to her dock. Pretty cold at the lake and inland. We are hoping for nice weather this week so we can go after a trophy walleye for the spring Lake Erie FishCrazy Walleye derby.

How much does she weigh fully loaded, any issues pulling the boat out of the water? Have seen too many truck/seadoo/ramp bad pictures lately, cool to see a good one.

Boat. 4320
Trailer. 950
Motors 980
3/4 tank gas. 500
Gear 375

Total. 7125

it was not an issue at all to tow or launch. We pulled it outnof the water last year and my plumber who was behind the wheel said he was impressed. Not any hesitation whatsoever to get it out of the water. Other trucks there was that had to reve up to get going. We watch several and the CT out performed all vehicles recovering boats. Truly a pleasure to drive under all circumstances.

Very cool, I have been worried about my roughly 8lb boat (about the same total weight loaded as yours) but on a rather steep and slippery ramp. I have done it with a RWD SUV before no problem, but I worry about the weight of the CT, and being on the news.....

LMAO.... I wouldn't worry on the slope. However the late fall we do carry a 50 lb bag of salt and one tube of sand for traction incase of freezing conditions. Now just to get that winning eye!

For those wondering what the power usage is when hauling this vessel .... for a 33 mile drive it was 1050 watts per mile.

Had a big bag of spring yard trash and dog shit ? thawed out, didn’t want the bag to tear and leave a mess so I put the truck in extract mode as I guessed the height to trash bin would be perfect ? and it was, just effortlessly guided into the dumpster.

Took my son to the beach to race our RC trucks followed by going out with friends for a nice dinner in Miami! Cybertruck blended in nicely in Miami and did great at the beach for hauling all of our gear.

Bonus was letting my friends who have Jeeps and Range Rovers drive the Cyberbeast, they were impressed.

Grabbed a few bags (30) of mulch - which, incidentally, is the exact number of 2 cu ft bags it takes for the auto leveling to happen ?

This is in addition the previous 50 I forgot to take a photo of …. And I need 20 more. ??‍♂

Got done with a surgery at 3am, didn’t make sense to drive home for 45 min and comeback when I had colonoscopies starting at 6:30am so I slept in the CT for the first time in the back seat. It was shockingly very comfortable. I left the ac on camp mode, car was plugged in the level 2 free charger at the hospital so overall made the best of it.
