towing capacities

I sounds like you're going to do it regardless of anyone's advice.
NO, if I give the facts and you still have fact based reasons, not
your personal opinion, then of course I won't. If that were the case I
would not be asking. I am merely stating what the specs say, with the
towing option for my car, the book says 3000lb tow capacity, tounge
weight appears to be less than 300 lbs. Unsure exactly but I can lift
the trailer relatively easily. Boat weight, 2340 lbs unloaded. Class
II hitch on car gives 3500 lbs, 350lb tounge weight. I have since
found out the transmission is a 440 trans. I am unsure of the trailer
weight but I estimate 400 to 500?? Unloaded I can lift one tire at a
time off the ground. So, In short I know its best not to towe the boat
with this car, I know I should probably buy a truck just to haul this
boat 1/4 mile 10 times a year and 150mile twice a year but Id really
like to know if it is necessary. Or can I buy a transmission cooler,
$50-$80, put electric brakes on the trailer, $300-500, Thanks Again
for the help.
