How much does that boat and trailer weigh approx?!?

one good thing- the gawkers might be gone before I get mine ?

Launching is easy! Can it pull the boat out??? ?

That looks like an early 2000s stringray, probably 24footer. Of course Im going off of one angle of a boat with very few identifiable markings.

So thats about 4k dry + another 400lbs in gas and maybe 1k for the trailer. So 5400 or so

Not sure I'd wanna back that brand new toy down into that brackish/salt water for retrieval. Take a look at the trailer.

So figure ~half max towing capacity to be safe. Cool.

I can't wait for the electric revolution to come to boats. I hate the idea of towing a vehicle that has a 100 gallon gas tank with my electric truck.

Seriously... filming private people in their cars is creepy. Definitely wouldn't like to be the one posted and commented on all Rivian forums.

A quip, but... serious followup:
Does it regen in reverse???

I don't know if my ex-Rav4e did, and I don't know if my still current Model X does.

A first. Good job.

Looks like he's backing down like like a real driver and not those with the Ford back up knob (weak).
