: How does the E do pulling a boat? Norm Walker 03-21-2006, 05:30 PM Hi. I'm new to this site and am just about ready to buy my E. I would like to know if anybody out there has ever pulled a boat and how does the e do. I have been planning to get about a 16 footer for fishing. Thanks Norm lifeizgood 03-21-2006, 06:38 PM Hi.

Not knowing what you're going to buy, check out Racks and Hitches at http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=43 or maybe do a separate search for "boat towing". You'll find a lot of info here. Keep us posted! Kayakin' Dan 03-21-2006, 10:29 PM Norm, It won't work. The E doesn't float and it will sink. The boat and trailer need to weigh less than 1500 lbs. The Element is not a heavy hauler, by any means. tjsky 03-24-2006, 05:15 AM Hi Norm, I have a 16' Alumacraft with a 25HP Yamaha motor, the E pulls this just fine. This is an older boat, though, and the aluminum is not as thick and heavy as it is on newer boats. I have also pulled a 20' Lund Alaskan with twin 40HP Johnsons but the E really struggles pulling that. Norm Walker 03-24-2006, 04:29 PM Thanks alot everyone for your help. Great pics TJSKY. I'm looking at a 16 1/2' with a 40 horse motor. Hope to have my E by May. | ||
