Ramp launch Flying Scot with Subaru Forester 2015

[majorkong1]

Does anyone see any problems if I use a 2015 Subaru forester (1500 lbs towing capacity) to tow a boat a few hundred yards across a parking lot and back in / take out from a boat ramp? The boat is a flying Scot which weights around 1200 lbs with the trailer. The trailer has no brakes. Not looking to tow on the highway, just launch at the ramp.

You should be fine since it's just being used as a yard trailer

The Scot is a light boat, shouldn't be a problem.

Go for it....

The Flying Scot weighs 850 pounds. Where do you get such a heavy trailer?

Look up for overhead wires, tree limbs, etc if moving the boat with mast up
