Don't over reach. Instead of a 10,000 pound trailer pulled by a 1/2 ton truck, I like a 5,000 pound trailer pulled by a one ton diesel.
I added a kicker motor on my fishing boat after the main engine lost power last fall. With two engines I can always get home.
Have to agree on both fronts: easiest towing is when the plow truck (F550) is going to a job towing the utility trailer with 2 snowblowers on it.
The 9.9 kicker pushing the boat back across a big lake last year was a godsend...even if the trip took 2-3 hours, it was better than going diving in 39 degree water to get to the impeller. Of course without knowing it, we picked up Mr. Murphy's friendly cousin about 1/2 way back: when we pulled the boat out of the water, all the crud in the impeller had fallen out.
