LINK

In the link provided, there's a pic of the exact kind of boat and trailer I have. I tow it w/ a 2008 6 cylinder F150. I'm in SW Fla, so I don't have to go uphill at all and the boat ramp I use is 10 miles away.

I never go above 50 mph while towing it and make sure overdrive is off.

My question; How long before I destroy my transmission?

I ain't gonna lie. You pushing that torque converter to the limit. If you keep the motor tuned, the fuel filter clean and install a trans cooler it will help. Heat is the number killer of transmissions.

I'm surprised it still running after 20 years.

What size truck would you recommend for that size boat? Is a 250 enough? I'm currently looking to get a new/used truck.

97 Wrangler 4.0L with AX-15
Redline MT-90
195K miles
4.88 gears and 35s

Shifts perfectly fine. How many miles left? Rebuilding entire Jeep 3 years fron now (frame up) with my son. Will be dropping in a 4.6L stroker. So, thinking of a trans overhaul while its apart. Or, maybe have a freshened up NV3550 waiting? Thoughts on NSG370?

If the new venture bolts up, I would go with that.

Bacon if it's a standard I have no clue. It's probably much better than an automatic.
