Another towing question

Cripes, man!
The boat rig weighs about as much as the car!
The frame of the boat trailer is stronger than the frame of the car.
Woah! Wait a second. The car HAS NO FRAME! well, maybe a "sub" frame,
but doing what you want to do is not a good idea.
My 18 ft. ChrisCraft is on a single axle frame, and I pull it behind a
302 v-8 powered '89 Mercury Grand Marquis.
At least it has some power, and a full frame, and some brakes.
you should really reconsider what you're planning.

I have a 23' Chapperalle. and double axle trailer (total weight est 5000
pounds.) I'd like to tow it up a ramp and into a storage yard then
launch once/year. Ramp is about 20% and maybe 20' long, the yard is
less than 100 yards away.
My vehicle is a Chevy Malibu with a wheezy 4, and the trailer has an
electric winch.
Think if I stayed in Low, and went slow I could do it?
I think the original poster is just trying to jerk someones chain.
Either that or they must sell cheap drugs in the area.
