i have a 00 190 four winns with a tower. we just got back from powell. i know it isn't to compairable but our boat weighs in at 2700 lbs trailer 920. as for gear we had 4 peoples worth of gear (tents, clothes, chairs and a ton o beer/alcohol, 7-8 cases of beer, 3-4 handles of alcohol) in the boat during the tow. 3 5 gallons of gas in the back of the truck as well as 2 ice chests full of food and drinks iced down. then 4 of us in the cab. drove 70-85 there and back no problems, and this was with 2 cracked manifolds. not sure where my weight was but thought this could help a little.
good choice on the four winns. we just happened to find a sweet deal on ours and turns out we've found it's one of the top boat company's and have zero complaints about four winns.
BTW we are 4x4 with Bit tow as well, running 35's.
