[Vwdiesel] Think I can tow my boat with my golf?

[Jason]

Here's my experience...

I used to tow my 16" ski boat with my 80 Rabbit.  It was a hopped up
GTI so power was not an issue.  Stopping it even with the 9.4" vented
brakes in dry - no problem.  Wet, was tollerable but not the safest
thing I've done.

Pulling it out of the water - NEVER an issue.   Even on a wet ramp!  I
always had people offering with the SUV or 4x4 to "help".  I just
asked them to stand back and watch! :)

But my family has towwed more then that. I have a nice build thread though on a nice hitch - two inch reciever for my Golf and the jettas in the family.
