Default Anyone trail a waverunner with their ls1 f-body?

Found some hitches online to fit the car, wondering if anyone has done it? Might be a stupid question, I don't know lol. Seemed like the car might be too low to back a waverunner down a launch?

I hate seeing f-body's with hitches on them . I guess it would work, but I would never do it.

About a year ago, I saw an mid-90's LT1 Z28 towing a 25' boat down in Miami . The rear suspension was so loaded, the back of the car was about 1" from the floor. I don't know why people do such things.

I was reading the booklet that came with my car and I noticed a section that concerned the issue of towing. I assumed it was going to give instructions on how to properly have your car towed... boy was I wrong. I still remember just thinking wtf?

I have a Hide-a-Hitch on my Z to pull my small motorcycle trailer. With the bar out, it has a cover so that you don't even notice it unless you squat down.

i don't see how you could back a waverunner in with an fbody. to get mine in the water with my z71 the back wheels are halfway covered in water, which is over 3/4 of a wheel in a 4th gen. That alone would put water to the door or in it from the looks o things. I'm sure you could tow it around and all, but backing it into the water? Don't see it happening.

please do not tow anything with these cars.. they arent built for it, and if you do it enough, it may destroy the rear springs and shocks.
