New tow vehicle!

Grit....not towards you...just the topic of ratings and those who recommend that they are not meaningful

Go back to the ICE RPM red line. That is a rating. Before computers controlled the throttle, a person could exceed that red line...I have both by accident and on purpose while out on the track (taking a calculated risk)

To me, an oxymoron when the same person says okay to ignore specifications, but will not go over the red lined RPM...

Just my opinion...having first two careers either writing specifications and/or designing to a specification(s)

Am curious and ask you all who think warranty ratings do much...

Or Coast Gaurd max occupancy for all certified boats ?

They *All* can hold, carry, spin, etc more than their ratings...

Oopsie, I may have the water cops on me too....
That surf pic didn’t come without a little exter ballusting.
CG plate says 1440lbs max.
I “might” have had 2000lbs of ballast and 7 people in the boat (and one surfing)....
Bout 3000lbs on top of dual batteries, 3 amps, 8 component speakers, 2 subs and 2 coolers with beer!
