I'm looking at getting an 85 Blazer with 38" tires & lockers in both the front & rear. To be honest I don't know much about axles or lockers. I'm used to mild upgrades so I could go from street to offroading easily. What info should I find out about the lockers? I was hoping to get a blazer I could offroad as well as tow a boat to the lake in the summer (1 lake is about 10 miles, the other about 25 miles). Is that at all conceivable with this blazer or do I need to keep looking for something less built up? The main reason I was looking at this one is that I can get it at a decent price, it is originally a southern vehicle so there is no rust, and there is a fair amount of upgrades already done to it.
 
Do you know what axles are under the blazer and what lockers are in it, and what is the gearing in the blazer.

If it has descent gearing in the axles then it should work fine for pulling your boat, but if it still has stock gears(3.08) then a gear swap will be needed.
