gmc Yukon has a Hybrid right now but the towing is less but it's still something to look forward too. The Lexus Ls600 is a v8 hybrid as well and I'm aware this technology will be making into the Toyota lineup very soon you can count on that.

I hope so too. I just don't think I want to be the first one on the block towing a heavy load with a hybrid design. Particularly one where the hybrid part operates on a battery pack and electric motors that may very well be dipped into the corrosive environment of launching a boat into salt water.

If i had a boat I would dock the boat at the lake since it's cheap in the long run and less wear and tear on my V8.

It might be cheaper however if you've owned a boat you'd know they have alot of maintenance. I'd rather being doing that maintenance at home alittle bit during the week so I can be ready to launch with no delay on the weekend. Its not very pleasant to have to lug the family to the docuk where you're boat is stored and then have them sitting around for hrs while you clean the boat or change the oil. Its alot more convenient to have the boat on a trailer at your home during the week. Of course one alternative is to just pay someone to do all the cleanup and maintenance at the dock, but that be very expensive in addition to dock and storage fees.
I'd much rather tow since I launch on lakes, rivers and the ocean and not just one location.
