Re: Appropriate for towing?

I towed one for a couple years with a Nisson Sentra 4cyl 5 speed. Made a couple trips to the FL Keys......100 miles. Had the car loaded for a week trip. I did finally blow that thing up with over 200,000 miles on her. Some Are Sicker Than Others!

Used to pull a 13' whaler (a fairly heavy boat) w/ an old 18, and lots of stuff, behind a small Subaru stawag. It had 4WD but I didn't use it w/ the trailer. No problem. I may have also pulled a 16' starcraft w/ a 55; can't recall. Too many boats and vehicles over the dam.

You can pull that boat with anything. My dad tows a small 8' tent trailer with his toyota corolla. Your boat will probably weigh the same or less.
