[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 424919, member: 12995"] What car are you looking to tow with? 1800 lbs is not going to want to tow too much comfortably so you would probably be looking at a 12-14' at best and that wouldn't leave much room for multiple people and stability. I used to have a 15' Hobie Powerskiff and towed it with my 2000 Camaro SS. Our ramp is not the easiest and it flattens out in spots where my exhaust would be in the water to be able to get the boat off the trailer. I only had trouble one year when I forgot to bring a shovel to clean the mud off the ramp in the spring. I couldn't get back up the ramp even with the empty trailer and had to unhook the trailer to get the car up and then walk the empty trailer up. In this picture, you can see I remembered the shovel and cleaned off the ramp pretty good. The car towed the boat easily but with 320 hp and SS springs it helped a lot. [/QUOTE]
