When I hook the towed boat it makes it work together. When going in reverse like I was the extra length give is more stability to track straight. I tried going forward and using a rope. It didn't work for me. The towed boat does not track straight. I tried to tie it to the ends of the pontoons and to the frame even having the person hold the rope. That don't work at all. The towed boat will take a different path than the tow boat and that is where the out of control starts. When you turn the towed boat makes long sweeping turns that take way too long to turn and even longer to straighten back out.
I have towed with three different boats and the only way I have found that works is backwards and hooked up. I have never been in a spot that the towed boat needs to disengage.
My son and I lifted it on my small pickup. I would say by it's self it weighs about 100 pounds or so. Ron
