Chrysler minivans w/towing are rated to tow up to a 3800# trailer.

Hmm, that means that a 3500# pound boat will only be... how much? ... over
the limit? I guess the trailer,
the fuel, the coolers, etc etc are weightless?


And do you KNOW he didn't include the weight of the whole rig when providing
the 3500# estimate?

No, but a familiarity with ski boat displacements suggest strongly that he
didn't. For one accustomed to sailboat specs, motorboats are surprisingly heavy.
