The tongue weight for any trailer should be about 10% of the total weight of boat and trailer together; e.g., ~200 lb for a 2000 lb boat and trailer combination. --Gary Hyde Pullman, WA gmhyde1@mac.com M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

I have no clue as to tongue weight on this boat. I can tell you that I have a Chrysler Macho van (we don't like that word mini) and the rear drops about an inch when the boat is hooked up. The 3.3 V6 is OK but is no power house. The trailer has surge brakes and I am very happy it does. They work quite well. I am quite sure this van would not work as a tow vehicle without the brakes.
