Default How much weight can your boat tow?

Having lunch down by the sea today, saw one of the rotten old ferry boats appear from behind the rock jetty.
Just thought it was funny how many smaller boats he can tow.........

A buddy of mine towed in 3 boats in a string with a Correct Craft ski boat one day. Sadly one of them was mine.

I once (1990's) towed a 40' Fero Cement sailboat across San Francisco Bay with my Formula 272LS w/twin 260 Alphas. The sailboat had lost it's rudder control.
