Re: towing/launching with a 2009 santa fe
Depends. What does your owners manual say about the tow capacity for YOUR particular vehicle? When properly set up, max capacity for a SF is listed as 3500 lbs.
For example, a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander, properly equipped, can tow either 3000 or 3500 lbs (don't recall offhand). MY particular car (2 WD base model) is good for only 2000 lbs max, and that's if the trailer has brakes. Max is 1500 lbs without them.
Your boat with I/O probably weighs 1500-1600 lbs. Then there's 600 lbs for the trailer and a few hundred for fuel and stuff. Maybe 2500 lbs all in. You really need to confirm the 'actuals' for your rig yourself- I'm just ballparking it.
