Re: 2wd Boat Towing

You should be okay towing it. Inspect the launch though before you put your boat in. Don't launch anywhere with a steep and/or gravel grade to it.

Also remember when you recover your boat from the water that with a two wheel drive it's sometimes better to keep more of the truck and trailer out of the water and use the trailer winch to get the boat on than it is to back way out. Oh and if the launch is wide enough and highly used try to back up out of the "wet marks" on the pavement.

This comes from a lot of experience watching n00bs at the launch ramps. I actually saw a guy with an older Jeep trying to recover a 25+ boat have to have his friends help push the vehicle up the ramp.
