In all honesty, I'm not a fan. It is useful and easy to maneuver, but its just not made for towing. I use it locally to bring the boat from storage to the lake, and in that regard it does just fine and is quite useful. I have been on a longer drive with it, and that was quite stressful. I believe the 2 door wrangler has only a 2k lbs rating so, that kind of says it. That said, the longer wheel base 4 door wranglers may actually be really great for towing a 20! I'd certainly suggest checking one of those out rather than a 2 door.

For the first time ever this year I beat Memorial Day. Took 2 days off at the start of May to dewinterize, wash wax, etc......boat has been on for 3 weeks now - earliest ever. That being said between weather and travel I haven't used it since!!!
