Towing a boat with a 2/3 drop?

[83efi]

Just picked up a 2006 Yuxon XL 2wd. I want to put the Mc. 2/3 drop kit but im concerned that towing my boat would be an issue. Does anyone here have experience or input on this? Thanks.

maybe add helper bags?

Not an expert on the subject but there are many folks on this forum who have dropped trucks and tow boats ... but I would guess the weight of the boat would be helpful in determining feasibility.

Helper bags and no problems. You can tow without them but it will sag the rear a little. I tow a 23' Malibu and a 07 Mastercraft Xstar all the time with no problems.

If you know the tongue weight share that with us and we can better answer. Just a suggestion..............GET RID OF THE FACTORY HITCH, THEY ARE JUNK!!!!!

well I have a 2/3 kit and I tow my boat with no problems at all and I do it on 24's. I also tow a car hauler and a enclosed trailer from time to time.

I plan on towing w/ my Belltech 2/4. Trailer and aluminum boat weigh in around 1500lbs. Tongue weight, (just guessing here) around 100lbs, since I can pickup it up relatively easily.

If the factory hitch is so bad, what hitch are you using?

I didn't plan on getting bags since it's a pretty light setup. You guys agree?

Thanks guys! One last question. Is there a kit thats better than others when setting up for towing?

Sorry for asking my questions 83efi. Didnt mean to thread jack. I didn't even think about it until I looked over the thread again! I'll repost my question in a new thread a bit later. Best of luck figuring out what your going to do!
