I remeber somone towing a 38 scarab with a hummer once
Both the Hummer and the boat looked sharp right up until it started swearving and hit a cement overpass piling
Things that make you go --- Bummer on the Hummer and no more float for the boat LOL

I have seen several before. Don't know how they towed. Never saw one hit a cement abutment though. Look on youtube at some of the things the H1 does. Pretty impressive for the things was designed to do.

friend of mine has one. Cool trucks, they wil do some crazy things, but if you put a trailer behing it, it is a piece of junk.
I have personally slid through intersections with that thing trying to stop with 38' fontain behind it.
IMO, absolutely not.

I tow with my H1 (6.2 L Turbo Diesel) usually just a short distance to the ramp and back but have towed my Fountain hundreds of miles.
Tows the boat fine, but takes some time to get up to speed and up the hills is slow going. Once you're going you can cruise all day but gas mileage is 6-7 mph and brakes are the weak link so you need lots of room to slow down. Works great at shallow ramps, I have backed up until the water was at or above the bottom of the doors, in 2-3 feet of water, without a problem. When summer is gone and winter sets in, like now, there is nothing more fun than plowing through 3-4 ft of fresh snow!
