5,000 pounds. I wouldn't go much heavier. You should be fine with that boat.

They're perfectly capable, even stock.

It doesn't need to be. I run 3.55 gears with mine and I accelerate and get around just fine, even better than my buddy with 4.10s actually because I have a stronger motor. Some people find it more comfortable to run 4.10 gears. For good torque, you can also run 4.56 gears.

2-6 inch lift, 31-33 inch tires, CB radio, roof rack, off road rear or front bumper, hitch, lighting, slip yoke eliminator.
