Default Pulling boat out with FWD

I never had ramp trouble with my Taurus wagon.


This is the boat I used to tow with the wagon:

The manufacturer lists the approximate weight as 2750 pounds. I never
weighed it, but I figure with trailer, fuel, and the usual stuff, I was well
into the 3K range. I'm on the Kanawha River in WV and most of the ramps are
fairly steep, but generally clean and dry like this one:

(Now I have a big pickup and a 1500 pound boat. Go figure.)
