Hmmm.My boat weighs 4000 lbs dry. Not sure how practical it would be to try and beef it up with adding leafs . Also at 24 feet, I`d have to be able to move the winch tower forward a bit. Being a V8 I/O, I`d also be concerned about not enough tongue weight.Too bad there is a ferry between us or I`d definitely want to have a look at it, to see what could be done to it.
