After installing that super hitch....he will still be ok at the ramp...he can install a electronic break controller ....and hold the manual lever on ...on the way down the ramp....thus insuring the trailer breaks do there end of the job ....yup..

Jeeps are built for 2 things: 4 wheeling and towing.

I am so fuc&ing tired of this nonsense being posted here over and over again. You know goddamn well that a Jeep can't pull a Fountain. The one that kills me is the "not far/take it easy" bull$hit.

Buy a truck, rent a dock or move down to a boat you can afford to pull without jeopardizing the lives of innocent people.

Pull it-Yes
Stop it-No
Insured- Heck NO

A side question might be "Can a Jeep Roof withstand the weight of a Fountain 10 meter? "

It is not worth the risk. Sometimes things happen that are not even your fault, but you don't want to be in that situation.

WTF? Some folks who go the extra 'mile' to have a proper setup deserved to be railed? I don't get your logic.

I'd tend to agree. Do it right, or stay home.
(BTW, using a correct rated WD hitch and proper setup is doing it right.)

If you're going to tow that big ass boat with a Jeep, make sure you let me know when and where as I'll bring the camera. Wouldn't want to miss something like that!!!
