Small outboard kneel-down boats, one runabout at 11' and one hydro at 12'. The two boats together weigh less than 200 lbs - the two of us can pick them up. The 2 race motors together weigh about 250 lbs (no gear shift, no starter, super short midsection, no cowls). The trailer is a stripped dual-axle with surge brakes boat trailer with just a wood deck and short bunks on it. All told, it's under 2,500 lbs.
See my following post... I found your issue. You did not have a 47RH, All the 1990 B-vans had an A518, also known as the 46RH. I had a Ram 1500 4x4 with a 46RE (same trans, just electronically controlled) and it overheated driving 70 mph into a headwind. I couldn't think of towing a car dolly in OD with that truck, it had to be in D. The 47RH (also known as the A618) is a much beefier transmission, having 6 pinion gears in the planetary vs 4. The torque converter difference is insane, too (23 spline vs. 35 spline). The 47RH was originally found in the 2500 and 3500 Ram trucks with the Diesel or the V10. It was never originally found behind a 360.
