I've read all of the archives on towing vehicles used for M-17's. I'll be dry storing my M-17 in South SanFrancisco at Oyster point (mast up). The launch ramp is only a couple hundred yards away, so I suppose I could get by with most anything. However, the question is for you folks with 2 wheel drive or front wheel drive. Have you had any appreciable problems getting the boat out of the water on wet ramps? I truely hate spending money on fuel (Yea-sailboats), so I don't prefer all wheel drive. I'll be keeping my Honda for non boating road trips and will use the tow vehicle only for it's intended purpose. I've looked at a couple of Jeeps, S-10, Rangers, etc. I believe any of those with 6cyl. and auto, will do the job. Do I really need the 4X4? Thanks for any input. Bill M-17 San Francisco
