Guest Noddy Guests Posted 02/05/05 11:56 AM Share Posted 02/05/05 11:56 AM Hey AdamI tow (in a manual) a similar sized boat to lake eildon all the time, never had a prob - go sensible on the boat ramp you'll be fine.What is great is seeing P-platers faces when I have more off the lights with the boat on than they do in there stocky commodores!!They crack me up..!!

Posted 02/05/05 01:12 PM Share Posted 02/05/05 01:12 PM I hope you have a strong towbar for that though (as well as tightning the boat down just that extra little bit...). You wouldn't want something to snap or bend under the load of dragging someone off at the lights (which I personally think is stupid while towing, but funny at the same time cause they are getting overtaken by a boat... on land just picture it a laugh will ya..)...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/05/05 11:18 PM Share Posted 02/05/05 11:18 PM I was towing a Dingo (skid steer bulldozer ((like a small bobcat)) and had no troubles towing it with the manual. I think it may have been a bit overweight as the dingo weighs about 1500kg + the heavy duty trailer. I was happy with how well the T tows. I was always first off the lights and had no problem towing at freeway speeds up hill.The only thing to be careful of towing that little ski boat is remembering that it is attached to the back of your car, because I doubt you will notice it due to the power of the T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17303-towing-boat-behind-a-manual/page/2/#findComment-248948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
