Hi,

I thinking of buy a sport cruiser that I can trailer behind my Range
rover. The all up weight of the boat + trailer will be close to the
3500Kg limit. Has anyone experience of towing such weights behind a
4x4. Any lauching tips. I dont fancy seperating the trailer from the
jeeps hitch to launch it with a rope like some suggest

All advice much appreciated

I would not be too happy towing a boat and trailer that close to the range
rovers limit of 3500kg, you could post the same question in the
alt.fan.landrover forum but i would change the word jeep first though Surprised)
What boat is it you are thinking of towing.

No problem with the towing - except the fuel consumption!
