Towing with a Bonny
Ok, so with my potential engine issues aside, what do you all think about using a bonniville to tow? I have a lil kayak that I enjoy putting around in, and I don't really like the idea of a roof rack. So I was thinking of building a custom trailer to carry 1 or 2 kayaks, and maybe some gear. I am aiming to have the finial weight of the trailer fully loaded to be around 400 pounds, so not much at all.
What do y'all think?

You can easily do 400 pounds worth of passengers, so not really a big deal. If you plan on doing it a lot, transmission cooler would probably not be a bad idea, but probably not required provided you do not play abusively.

Cool, that is what i am hoping to hear. I am still in the planning stage, figuring out the strength vs cost vs weight ratio. I hope to start building in about a month once im more settled in at my new job. When I do start building, i start a new thread so y'all have something a little different to see.
