Welcome.

I towed my 18' starcraft home from MN to TN with my little vw sportwagen. Looked about the same.

I find it interesting how when hooked up, the boat dwarfs the size of the tow vehicle. The Subaru towed the Sylvan with no issues. Kept off the interstate most of the was and kept it below 65 most of the time. Of course braking was a little more noticeable but nothing to worry about.

Yep and im 60ish so I remember the days when no one used a truck which now is mandatory. I do have a truck and I do use sometimes but I love the looks I get when pulling into the ramp with the sportwagen. People walk up and say wth...

I did add airbags to the rear coils but I also do handyman work out it it and all my ryobi tools, cheerleaders and batteries and a two drawer storage system adds about 300 lbs to the back. Im about to retire and all that stuff will be offloaded.
