well this is more of a lawn mower question than a boat towing question.... you will be asking the mower to do something it was never intended to do BUT many, myself included have done it before.... If you have the ability to design and build the hithc that is the way to go BUT if you did you most likely would not be asking this question... I would say your best bet is to find a local welding shop and take the mower to them.

Check with Sears, they have various hitch setups for their tractors...

I've seen hitches for craftsman tractor/mowers on ebay. Here's an example and not sure it fits your application but ebay is a good place to check out. I bought one for my kubota on ebay and works great. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sears-Tractor-R...393?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35afc5ff21

consider putting the ball on the front; a lot of people like to do that for movign around in a yard or other tight spaces

there generally isn't anything sturdy enough to mount a hitch on on most garden/yard tractors. Mounting a ball on the standard hitch location is also too low resulting in the tongue jack not going low enough to couple the trailer. Here is what I did:

Keep in mind that you want the hitch ball located as close to the axle as possible. Having it stuck way out back creates a lever that can very easily put the front end of the tractor up in the air on an uphill or simply tough pull. Yes, your 21 HP tractor will pull your boat. I use mine to move a 20 foot pontoon and a cosntruction trailer.
