[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 510546, member: 22613"] It's a toss up. People do a lot stupider stuff every day. You can minimize risk, empty the boat of all but the bare minimum with just enough fuel to get by, try to pick a time when there isn't a lot of traffic, and empty the tow vehicle of all passengers and gear. The trailer very likely has surge brakes, if you did decide to try, the tow rig will need to be wired for the 7 pin round plug, and have a reverse signal wire for the brake lockout solenoid, or you won't be able to back up with the trailer. I'd guess the determining factor for me would be if that weight figure includes the trailer or not. If it did, I'd be willing to try, if it didn't, you're likely at least 500lbs over the max rating, that's pushing it and would make me hesitant. [/QUOTE]
