I would be concerned
about it for a couple of reasons. First, you indicated a weight of 2000 to 2200 lbs, but did not say if that included the trailer. My h23 has a rated displacement of 2450 lbs, but a truck scale shows axle weight of over 3000 lbs. (The tongue wight is neglible, I can one-hand it, admittedly not the best situation for towing.) Secondly, the tow vehicle weight to tow weight ratio is probably unfavorable. Many people like heavier tow vehicles because they are harder for the trailer to throw around. Having seen a travel trailer sway a full sized pickup into a 180 degree skid, and felt my boat trailer trying to do so, I consider that an interesting issue. Certainly tow bars help, but you should at least be aware of the risk. Third, you mentioned a bumper mounted winch for launching and retrieving your boat. Assuming sufficient vehicle weight and tire traction to avoid launching your truck, the question, based on the weakest link problem, is how srongly attached is your bumper? As an alternative, to the winch, talk to people with deep keep boats about launching and retrieving using a rope, cable or tow strap between the hitch and the trailer. I know the Santana 20 and other deep keeled skippers do that all the time around here (Fern Ridge Res., Eugene, OR). They unhitch on the flat just above the ramp, hook on the rope/cable/two strap, stretch it out and back the trailer down. Another alternative is to talk to friends or other sailers about borrowing their tow vehicle if you are launching to stay awhile. As for the ultimate suitability of your vehicle, check your owners manuel, talk to your mechanic, talk with other boaters in your area. Good luck and enjoy yourself. Jim Kolstoe. h23 Kara's Boo
