Need some info on boat size vs max towing capacity

I used to tow my 14 footer with 2 stroke 25 HP with Pontiac vibe. I put transmission cooler to protect car. Can't really complain, towing was ok except big uphills - had to speed up on downhill to get descent speed on uphill, didn't have any issues with ramps. My boat and trailer and all staff was roughly around 600 lb. Once I had a chance to get 2 vechile I got v6 Tucson. If you can't get another car, try to protect yours and got a trailer with at least 12" wheels.

If considering adding brakes to your trailer, keep in mind that surge brakes are useless in the extremely rare event that your vehicles brake system fails and they're illegal to use in some states because of this. Electric brakes are definitely the better option.
