Greetings all. We would like to be able to haul a small fishing boat on the Maverick hybrid being towed behind our motorhome. Was looking at inflatables with a small outboard but not sure I want to take the time to inflate and deflate at every use. Any of you hauled a small lightweight fishing or jon boat on your Maverick and if so would you recommend it? Thinking a rack mount would be best to free up bed space. Also not into kayaks or canoes. Thanks for any suggestions.

I've seen people using the hitch extenders to build longer mount platform but no ideas otherwise.

A Coleman 120V QuickPump at less than $30 does 36 CFM and should easily work with the Maverick's 400W Inverter

good luck....

We haul a Wavewalk S4 microskiff catamaran with a 6hp Suzuki 4 stroke. Very stable, rides smooth, weighs 90lbs, easy to load, stable and plenty of room. Really tough.

Elevate Rack and Pro X15 tonneau cover. Easy install and no drilling.
Thank you
The wife really liked all the upgrades and mods on your boat. The umbrella bimini and seating were her favorites.
