Hey guys,
Summer is coming up, and I'm dying to get a boat . I'm thinking about a bowrider and the smallest I can findis between 15 or 17 feet. I guess the weight with trailer be close to 1,800 pounds. Could I tow the boat for 20 miles every weekend?
(P.S: No cash for a truck)

 

with a 420a motor i would say definitely not... but do the spyder gs's come with a 4g64 motor? i can't remember

 

yes they come with the 4g64 motor.

 

hmm... either way i dont think those make enough torque or power to be able to tow that much weight... but they are fairly easy to put a turbo on... do some research on that

 

would there be a way to mount a hitch on an eclipse?

 

i doubt it could make enough HP to pull it. i know your post said you have no money for a truck, but i think the only way would be to getan old beater truck and use that. unless you have a buddy with a truck that doesnt mind lending it to you every weekend

 

yeah... these engines are built for lightweights... pulling a boat pretty sure would be stressing it out a lil bit haha

 

you'd have to get a hitch specially welded on, i've seen people do it before

 

you can tow it iff your going downhill the whole time. but on the way back, you might run into a problem. the 4g64 in my car could barely pull my car up a hill in 2nd if there were more then 3 people in the car

 

ya the eclipses dont have very much torque. you would be better off with amontero lol
