Could my '85 Mazda 323 Tow/retrieve a 3.8m/15hp tinny?

Hi All

Just got a new tinny, but my old mazda has no towbar

Don't want to install a towbar if it won't be able to tow/retrieve the
tinny on a ramp.

Also the car is front wheel drive

What do you think?

Cheers

It would pull it ok in a straight line (albiet slowly) but you would get
into greif on ramps due to a combination of incline, and downforce at
the towball lifting the front wheels.
If you have a few lardy mates they could sit on the bonnet to give
traction when you retrieve.
