    CL 495

    Who needs a WAY over powered Charger with a WAY inadequate trailer??

    For $4k it would be a lot of fun! (if it runs)

    I'd love to have that mota!!

    Just wondering why you say way inadequate? The 200T I had was on a single. Never had an issue. My current 20 footer is on a single. 30 year old trailer. No issues so far.

    20 foot boat is pretty big for a single axle, although I know it can be done. Just thinking that V8 has to be pretty heavy plus all the fuel you will have to carry to feed that monster!

    The 496(20'6") weighs 16-1700 lbs dry add a big heavy out board, jackplate ,fuel,tackle and the weight of the trailer your way over the 3500 lbs.Even the 296 1500 lbs (19'3")needs a tandem axel but they ship them with single which when loaded is over the 3500 axle.

    V8 Rudes are the baddest engines they ever built.

    The 195 in question is listed as 1450. The 200T i had is listed as 1400. V8 Rude weighs approx 140 lbs more than a 3.1 225 Yamaha, which is what my 200T had.

    To each their own, but sure dont think that is 2 much weight for a single. Between the 200T and my current 20 footer, I've logged a bunch of miles, potholes, etc. No issues so far.
