This is in NC Jim. In-Water is an option, but out-of-water is way cheaper, and I am on a budget for at least the few years. ---

Buy a POS truck and leave it with the boat. OR cant the marina drop it in for ya? Paying someone a few bucks everytime is still probably cheaper than buying a truck to do it. Car seems out of the question to me. Jeller ---

Either buy a pos truck to tow it with, or buy a cheap civic for autox. The LGT turns like a bus. I drove one at the novice school and it was brutal. With some mods it might be better, but if you are only autoxing once in a while, and towing once in a while, it makes more sense to buy a car specifically for one of those and then get a daily driver that suits your needs better, since you will spend more time driving that than either of the other two. Don’t race your tow vehicle. It’s just a bad idea all around. ---

Randy Zimmer towed his race car with a vw rabbit to Cali and back. Just because you can do it, that doesn’t make it a good idea. ---
