It probably could be done. An HF can't pull a greased string out of a cats ***.

Ya have to remember that an HF is blessed with only 65 HP. I wouldn't try and tow a jet ski cross country though.


Cheers,


Donnie

I pull mine with my si a lot during the summer, and it strains it some, so I wouldn't even try with an HF, specificaly if your gonna unload on a boat ramp and half to go uphill on slick cement to get out. It aint gonna happen, your car will take a bath.

i have pulled a jet ski with an hf. Used a very steep boat ramp as well. Towed a cbr 929 cross country as well The HF towes very well suprisingly. I kept in 4th on the highway and used 3rd going uphill and bridrges. It does really well

Just try it... if its working hard just around on the street it probably isnt such a good idea to put it down the ramp.

The biggest issue you'll have is your clutch...

Actually, depending on the ramp you use... its gonna be the water coming in the hatch!
