I was curious about if the closed in would be easier to tow. All of the open end boats I have towed don't tow straight on a rope. I have towed a couple Creek co's and a South fork. I have even towed a broke down boat. That was the easiest of all of them.
So much can make the towed boat not run straight. If the pontoons are not of equal air pressure, weight distribution, wind, waves, the operator of the towed boat leaning, and the list goes on. Last spring a did a lot of testing with towing and the only good option I saw was hooking up tight with the motor in front. Now I could see the closed end of the x5 being much easier to tow more like a play tube behind a boat.
