risk f--king up. I think next summer I might buy an old beatup used pickup
to carry it in. I don't want to spend a lot of money, since I would only use
it for transporting the boat and on the rare occasions when I need to haul
something.

died and the cost to fix it was more than it was worth. I had a Crown
Victoria after that and I have a small trailer for the boat that the Crown
Vic could pull. My current car is a Cadillac CTS and the owners manual says
that it was not designed to tow a trailer and should never be used for that.
I'll take GM at their word on that; the car was too expensive to risk
damaging it.

Fitting a tow bar to any unibody car can be done quite easily and
shouldn't damage the car provided it's done properly by a professional
and you're not continuously towing on very bumpy roads for any distance.

Mind you, Ric's suggestion of the four sneakers is a lot cheaper and
probably quite effective and practicable especially if you don't have
too far to drive to water.
