soooo.......... i know that it is not advised as many on here are saying, but...<br /><br />About 2 years ago I used my 97 TJ sport with the same inline6 to pull my 19 foot bayliner with a 305 and no trailer brakes. <br /><br />i used this to pull many times at a distance of about 30 miles. I had 4 inches of lift though with 33x12.50's on 10 inch rims where stock are about 7" and 30x9.5. that added jsut a tad more width, but more than anything it essentially geared it down. It did just fine as long as another post said, don't go over about 55 and leave PLENTY of room to stop. <br /><br />*** I guess I should ask first, is it a 5 spd or an auto tranny?? I had a manual and that helped a ton. I probably would not have tried it with an auto. <br /><br />there were times that I didn't even have to put it in 4 wheel at all to get out up the ramp. granted it was a gentle slope and very short climb, but anywho- <br /><br />be sure that your boat is well loaded and the weight is distributed correctly. that will help with any sway, and just take the long down hills a bit(lot bit) slower at the top so that you can always get into it to pull out of any sway. don't worry about the car on your ***, you don't owe on it like you do your boat!! he'll wait. good luck!<br /><br />ohyeah, tried to pull same boat with my other jeep at the time, an 88 YJ with 4.2, didn't compare. towed twice about 10 miles and never again! guess its a trial thing. i kinda just killed my first points about it being fine huh??!!<br />oh well, take it for what its worth
