Hi Gang, To add to Rachel's comments: I went to Panama City, FL from Connecticut to pick up my M15 #400. I was driving a VW GOLF VR6 GTI - manual transmission - with a Reese towing hitch. After picking up the boat, and very careful driving for about the first 30 to 40 miles to get a feel for the rig and to make sure that the boat was riding properly and noting was loose and shaking about, we reached I-10 across the top of Florida heading East. It was a sunny day; very light traffic; and as the miles went by, my speed increased. First I was driving about 55 MPH, and gradually it became 60 MPH, and after we turned the corner at Jacksonville, FL and headed north on I-95 I found myself comfortably cruising along (you never felt the M15 and trailer) at 65 MPH. The following day; again sunny, dry and pleasant, we started cruising north at about 65 MPH, but then I had to pass a slower car or truck, and the speed went up to 70 MPH, ......and stayed there. By the time I dropped off my friend in Washington, and headed home to Connecticut for the final 370 miles, the M15 / trailer and I had become one happy family. No problems pulling an M15 with the VW GOLF. Later, I sold that car and now am towing the M15 with a VW Jetta VR6 station wagon with automatic transmission. We have towed it to Maine and to Lake Champlain several times - no problems. Of course, I am easy on a car, downshift early, and keep the Revs up on the engine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ My first experience towing was back when I bought a Bolger MICRO, sight unseen, in Bay City, MI and we were heading for Florida. We were driving a 4 cylinder GOLF sedan, manual shift. When we picked up the MICRO it had a trailer that weighed much more than the boat did. I think it was originally a trailer from a mobile home. I later measured up the sizes of the steel channels that made up the frame and calculated the total trailer weight. I believe it was around 1300 lbs. Add the MICRO, which weighed about 1,000 lbs, plus our loaded car and we were way over towing limits for that machine. It was a long and at times slow trip climbing mountains in Tennessee in 2nd gear, but we made it safely to Florida and then later, back to Connecticut again. I guess the point of my story being, even a small car can do the job if you are careful. Back in Connecticut, my first order of business was to get a proper sized trailer for the MICRO, and then I had a rig that weighed about 1250 lbs. The 4 cylinder GOLF was very happy pulling that much lighter load, and we took the MICRO to Florida and back several times. (about 3,000 mile round trips). Connie
