Real heavy haulage for this 1983 AMC Eagle wagon

[A-A EAGLE]

Look this.......



It's the transportation of a pretty heavy Fishery Patrol Boat. The Eagle did this job very well. It's a shot with my telephone so, not very high quality.

Awesome! 

I feel sorry for the transmission though....

good to see you made it over here to the den A-A EAGLE and the Eagle still looks awesome. the rear doesn't even appear to be squatting under the load of that boat.

Thank you Maddog and BAHuys.  Great to be back on the forum too. The trailer with boat had a weight of something like 1500kg (3300lbs or so). Stressing the tranny depends on the weight of your right foot. With trailer like this I am driving pretty calm and not trying to win races at traffic lights.... I have to confess that I have used the compressor to put a bit of air in the shocks. Anjo

hey that's what the air shocks are meant for.

Cool pic

When I was a kid my parents had a hornet Sportabout wagon with a 258 six , we hauled a camper loaded with stuff all over the place, even long trips of hundreds of miles.

Never had a problem with the engine or the transmission. Didn't break any land speed records but it sure did pull a load without complaint

He traded it for a chebbie caprice after several years cause it had a v8, it didn't pull nearly as well as the hornet and was lots of trouble. My dad wishes to this day he had never gotten rid of that hornet.

All in a days work...
