Towing a boat in winter freezing temps...

Eh, I didn't know where to post so here it is. I'm working on getting a 21' Pulsare, should know by end of the week, but it is in the frigid north. Anyone ever towed your boat in FREEZING temps? I might be retarded, but with the trailer hopping around a bit and flexing I don't want to find a million little spider web cracks in the gel coat when I get home.... Valid concern or not so much?:eyecrazy:

Thanks!:D
 
i bought my mate in january last year and pulled it home and didn't have any problems.....can't imagine it hurting anything.

Thanks guys... it was -24 today where the boat was. Just want to make sure I don't fark anything up on a nearly brand new boat.
 
How far did you tow your boats? I need to cover 1500 miles. 750 or so in freezing temps.
 
here is a dodge that would pull it home for you......if you had one like this:lol:

not to many dodge trucks around like what some us have:poke:

but you should be just fine:thumb::thumb::thumb:.........where are you gettin' it from?????
 
Ha, nice truck. I think my TBSS will do just fine though!

Boat is in Minnesota. I figured the fiberglass would be tougher than that to crack getting rocked around in cold weather.
 
that thing will flysmiley.gif

by the way what is a tbss if you don't mind....... don't want to sound stupid:poke::cheers:
 
don't think i would want to pull anything with a trail blazer......smiley.gif
