    Towing question

    I am headed to Lake Toho next weekend and wanted to put some ethanol free gas in the boat from the station down the road(cant find any on the list close to Toho) Question is would it hurt anything to tow the boat with gallons of gas in it9 i dont normally do that) Trip to Toho is roughly 300 miles

    No, I've towed to Lake Toho as well with gas in the boat, but I started up here in Virginia.

    It may cost you a teeny tiny bit in MPG, since you are moving more weight, but I doubt you'd ever see it.

    Might loose a little gas mileage, in your tow vehicle that is it.

    My boat tows better with 30 or gals in it than it does empty. However I did loose a mpg or so for 300 miles.
