It tows the boat great, I even used it to haul out my keel boat on a yard trailer a few times, which is extremly heavy. Its a '96 V6 and has been back and forth across the country a few times, as well as into Mexico and Canada, I think this will be its last distance trip as it is starting to show some of the typical old car, high mileage symptoms, I don't want to put any extra strain on it. Even though I can't really feel it towing the boat, I do notice a loss in gas mileage which will be significant at this distance and these gas prices. Plus its 2 more wheels to go flat. I thought about it for a long time, I really wanted to take it, Im sure the TheMightyHobie18 would be a great west coast boat for me
but I guess I'll just have to start looking once I get out there, as my boat has already been sold, so sad. Sorry to get so far off the Christmas list subject.
