987687 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sorry for the crappy pic, but I tow this all the time in the summer with my GL. The ea81, D/R 5speed, and disc brakes do a fine job keeping everything under control. I just take it easy, go the speed limit, slow down before corners, etc. I pretend I'm driving a big truck, the all my CDL training comes to mind and I do fine.

Suba_GL_87 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 no, it's fiberglass. boat made from 1973. yes just one axle Is it an aluminum boat? If it is, that plus a 15hp engine probably don't weigh more than 350 lbs. How much does your trailer weigh? If it's just a small one-axle boat trailer probably not much. If it isn't a home made trailer (like mine...) it should have a sticker on it with specs/ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I made a custom rear bumper. Towing the boat is fine, just take it easy. Don't be dumb, leave a nice following distance, slow down BEFORE corners, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
