Default fish and civics

Has anybody ever towed a small fishing boat with their civic? Is it a good idea or not? What is the max lbs can a civic tow?

How much do the trailer and the boat weigh?

And are you getting a hitch setup for your car?

And yes it will tow a small boat.

i have a friend that towed a crx with his crx he ended up burning the clutch up, but if its like a very small flat bottom boat with a trolling motor it might pull it. do you have a trailer hitch or anything?

make sure the boat is light enough to drag up onto the trailer, youll never pull it back out of the water with a civic
