I guestimate my boat/trailer loadout to be about 3000#. I use a Class II hitch because that’s what came with my Mazda Tribute. The Tribute tow capacity is 3500 so it doesn’t make sense to have anything heftier than a Class II anyway. It falls within a 10% margin of safety but yes, in a perfect world I’d have a vehicle with 5000# tow capacity and a class III hitch. I carry the outboard in the back of the Mazda and on cruises don’t fill the 20+ gallons I have in water jugs until I’m ready to launch. The anchors etc. stay aboard. - Jim M-17 “Spirit" On May 5, 2014, at 7:42 AM, Alec McCandless <alecmccandless@gmail.com> wrote:
Does anyone have a total weight, including trailer, sails, etc. for towing consideration for the M17? Anyone tow with a class one hitch? Class II? -Alec
