I've towed the boat a few times but not yet with this monster. Rear overhang and belly drag are the only things that will get you. Lots of ramps in the south...especially ramps around coastal waters...are very steep due to tides as much as 10-12'. If you have huge (as I do) rear overhang, watch the prop and rear of trailer at the point just before the rear MH axle starts down the ramp. At this point, the hitch of the MH will be very high...so much so that the hitch on the trailer could be as much as 3 feet high. I've actually paid a local in the CG a few bucks to launch and retrieve the boat for me.
