I've taken the boat on several 3hr drives no problem. Since I got a economical dd the truck rarely leaves the garage without the boat, the nearest lake is about an hour drive through the ozark mountains, cruises really nice around 70mph.

Would I tow the skid steer that far, sure, it wouldn't be fun, but id probably keep it under 70 this time. I'm sure it would tow better if my truck wasn't sitting on the bumpstops already. Adding a rear sway bar might help stability also.
