As some of you have read we need to tow this rather large boat from the ramp to a stroage lot ( few 100yrds away) ... I would never tow long distances with this boat attached as it is very much over the tow capacity of the DS sport....
But she performed flawlessly.... We drove her down the road to fill up the boat, then launced it at the ramp (which is covered in algae and lake muck) and even pulled it out with no wheel spin or crazy engine reving... very impressed.
Yes we know it was not the savest thing to do but we took all precautions making sure nothing looked like it was going to fail, and we were only on a public road for maybe 5mins the rest was on private property...
Boat dry weight is 4850lbs w/ 1200lbs of tandem trailer
