Rick, unfortunetly, there is not many options for dock space where I fish. It's in the very lowest point of Louisiana, and needless to say, not many developers want to put money into something they cannot insure. What was there before is now gone with Katrina.
Buying a truck is not an option. I sold my 2007 4x4 trd double cab toyota tundra that hauled 11k lbs just yesterday. I will let you guys know how it goes.

PTeam, I like the escalades, and will take run a test drive with the smaller of the two soon.
I have all the time in the world to decide what I want/need, I am having a ball driving the boxster as my dd.

MAX, theres not really a smaller one unless you mean the regular escalade one vs the ESV, all the ESV does is add a little bit of extra room behind the 3rd row seat but all other interior room and everything else is the same. Theyre great cars and have everything. I like the hummer h2's more just because theyre more unique even though theyre pretty much the same car not counting exteriors.

I mean the taho sized, rather than the suburban sized.

The Porsche Cayenne makes an excellent tow vehicle. My boat and trailer weigh in at about 6500lbs. depending on what’s stored below.

I just noticed you're in Mandeville. Wanna buy my Lexus SUV? I don't think it would tow much though.
I used to have a boss who went and bought himself a boat. He drove a little tiny pickup truck. I don't think he really factored in the issue of towing when he bought the boat. I think he had a lot of trouble towing it behind his truck.

Actually, I just got back with my new ride.
I bought a black Touareg v8 with air suspension, 4 zone AC, locking differentials, keyless entry/start, nav, parking sensors, heated seats, ect. ect. ect... I am totally in love with the car, and the boxster gets to rest in the garage for a few days.
My dealership had 1 on the lot and it had a v6, so I started looking elsewhere for a deal. You really get a lot for your money in this car, I highly recommend a test drive if anyone is in the market.
drburton, I appreciate the headsup on the Touareg. I am very pleased.

LoveBunny, I don't need it, but if it is a low mileage GX, I might know someone who is looking.
