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. Jim, wrote: 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? |
