All the way from driscoll's in America's cup harbor, to the police docks on Shelter Island.
My buddy I work with has a 1966 Person 32' Vangaurd(heavy ass full keel sailboat, 9,600lbs.) that he just bought and is working on. The Deasel is all messed up and he couldn't get it going before he ran out of money to stay at the boat yard. Here comes Nissan to save the day. With a gnarly head wind the odds were aginst me, but no problem for the Nissan.

I may have to look for a Nissan outboard to swap into my Pathfinder.

Yeah, my Dad used my truck several times (when it had stock bed) to move 7,000 lbs worth of logs, and a 21' full keel sailboat he had (around 6,000 lbs w/trailer). Had to put it in 4lo to move though!

'course, I should read the title! It's still believable though. An object set in motion, stays in motion! Look the size of a harbor tug vs the ship it's moving!

Thank you!
Yeah a tow boat needs weight. Inflatables don't have any. It is true that once you get a object in motion it stays there without other things to stop it. Wind, current, waves and what not. I was impressed myself.
