How do you attach a boat to a truck?

Answer 1

well first you have to make sure you have trailer hookup on your truck and boat,, you connect them together making sure everything is secure and make sure you have those lil wire things to have signals on the boat trailer so people can see which way your turning and such.. knowing this becvause i help my dad out with his stuff, ive done hook up n stuff before :) good luck

Answer 2

You need a hitch ,son.

Answer 3

Just "google" towing boats and you'll get the website below.

Answer 4

back the truck into the water until its over the truckbed, then drive the boat onto the bed full throttle until it hits the truck's back window

Answer 5

No offense but i hope you aren't hauling a boat in my town....

Answer 6

I want to agree with Max and Eric.

This forum reveals true naivete, and you will need some hands on help.

If you want to tow a boat, get a friend or relative who will show you the ropes.

This is not something to be fooled around with.

Answer 7

buy a trailer hitch and attach it to the rear bumper of your truck. attach the toungue of the trailer onto the ball of the trailer hitch. add some chains for extra support. hook up the lights and you're set to go :D

Answer 8

You are not qualified to tow anything with a question like that.  On second thought - you're not even qualified to be on the road.  Save a life - DON'T DRIVE.

Answer 9

First determine what size reciever the trailer has on it. !!!   Then install a hitch on your truck to match the ball size to the trailer tongue. Also you will need a 12 volt plug to match the trailer plug for lights to work on trailer. If it's a large boat you may want to install electric trailer brake system in your truck.  Good luck !!

Answer 10

If it's fiberglass or wood, tie a rope to the bow cleat, wrap the other end around the rear bumper, and drag it.  

If it's an aluminum boat, TIG weld it.

Answer 11

Hopefully you will have the boat on a trailer. ;)

The trailer will have a connector called a coupler.

That will connect to a hitch on the truck.  

That could be on the the bumper mounted ball or a receiver mount with a ball mount.
