Hi All,

Hopefully this is a very straightforward question.

I'm looking to buy a small speedboat.

The car I'd like to use to tow it with is a Peugeot 306 (turbo
diesel). I suspect this won't have enough weight behind it to tow and
launch.

The questions.....

1) Is the car big enough? Yes but the slipway might not be
2) If so what is the max size boat I should look at? About 14 - 18ft
3) How do I find the towing weight for this car? most towing weight are

about 500kg
4) How do I find the weights of the various speedboats that are for do a

search on google
sale?
3) The slipway I plan to use is baiter park in Poole, Dorset. How does
this slipway rate for ease of launch and recovery etc? Dont know about

that one,, go and watch others and learn by thier mistakes

Distance isn't really an issue as I'm only a few miles away from the
slipway.

Thanks in advance for all your help,

Martin.
