I was forced to go lower than normal due to the low water level. It's the last time that I've launched at this location.

bump for a question.

Anyone towing anything bigger than a jet ski? Say, a 19ft ski boat? I'd like to see that, because I'm considering it.

that's gonna be way too heavy. i wouldn't tow anything more than 1000 lbs, even a jet ski that's less than 5 years old is almost 1000lbs with a trailer

LOL, i'm game for trying anything but a 19' boat is crazy. The Evo is relatively light and short. A 19' boat would be "wagging" down the road. The tongue weight on the hitch is usually pretty high on larger boats as well.

Just thought I'd share my Evo + trailer.

The trailer is actually a $180 harbor freight trailer that i bolted together. I made the hitch + trailer in a day and then drove to Washington for school the next day. worked great.

Lol, that will require a full frame SUV or truck, a full size car or minivan won't even do that.

This thread is legit, ive never thought about towing with my evo. Now I see it can be done with ease thanks to those small harbor freight trailers!
