Re: What do you pull your boat with?

I have a 2003 Volkswagen Beetle--auto transmission, that pulls my 14' aluminum Valco fishing boat just fine. Total weight of boat/motor/trailer is less than 1000 pounds. But dealer had to install the trailer hitch and electrical (lights) connector.

You just need a 5th wheel adapter on your roof and you are good to go! Ahh the good ol' days, when all you needed to tow a 5th wheel was a vw bug! (there is a good video floating around on the internet, search for vw 5th wheel)

Im towing an 88 18ft Celebrity Crownline with my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer - I6 engine 4x4. It seems to be doing ok with it but I have no reference point since I have never towed anything besides this boat. Anyone have any advice? Can my Chevy handle this? It seems to be able to!

I used to pull a 4800lb with trailer, 21ft Wellcraft Eclipse with a 2005 Trailblazer - I6/4x4. It did OK but not great. For your boat it should be about perfect.

Re: What do you pull your boat with?

I tow my 16' bowrider with a Toyota Sienna w/ factory tow option installed (tranny cooler).

The boat, motor, fuel, battery and 150lbs of boat stuff comes in at 1750lbs - half the 3500lb rating of the Sienna. It tows it well.

I tow my 18' Century inboard with my '05 Chrysler Town and Country with no problems, trailer is single axle with surge brakes. Boat and trailer are probably pushing over 3000#, I know it's there but manage just fine - except at the gas pump!
