| I'm looking at a Toyota or Honda minivan and I have a 16 ft. Lund Rebel with a 20 h.p.
I know both can tow the boat but my question is would these vehicles be able to pull my boat out of the water especially if the ramps are wet?
Thanks |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | A buddy of mine tows his 17' Tracker, 50hp, with a Dodge Charger. He hasn't had a single problem yet in 3 yrs. And he fishes into November even. Only once did he get close to having me pull it out for him with my all-wheel-drive, but after only a second of spinning, he got traction and yanked her out. That ramp was STEEP, wet, and covered in moss. |

Should be safe with either of those vehicles. That particular boat is not extremely heavy, so it should not be an issue at the ramp unless the ramp is quite steep.

| For maximum towing ability the best Minivan is a Grand Caravan or Town and Country. Odysseys have the softest rear suspension of all the minivans. With a Dodge or Chrysler they are rated for 3600 lbs. |

| That boat is pretty light you should be fine with any of those vehicles. |

| You won't have any problems at all. I've pulled a Ranger 619 with a Honda Odyssey before, and it does much better than you would think. The one problem I ran into is if the ramp was steeper and extremely wet or sandy. Your running a much much lighter boat though, so should be no worries for you. |
