I have a 35d which makes significantly more power and torque than your 35i and it has to work to get the boat up the slanted curb into my driveway.

Hmmm, yeah I've never weighed the boat/trailer combo, so it could be close to, or over 6000 lbs. The boat should weigh about 3900 lbs dry, and I think the trailer is about 1000 lbs. Add 70 gallons of gas ~ 420 lbs, plus gear 500 lbs?
The gear ratio of R is actually a bit taller than second. I suppose I should see if I can go up the same hill in second. Thanks.
