Towing Double?

Hey all,

I just purchased a 13' Aluminum boat and was curious if it would be possible to tow it double behind my 2010 Starcraft 176RB? The boat, trailer, and motor probably weigh less than 500 lbs, with maybe 40-50 lbs of tongue weight.


Is is possible to swap out to a standard 4" bumper to allow the addition of a rear hitch bracket?

Or am I out in the night with the idea of trying to tow double with this trailer?

I have no experience in double towing but if you do a search on it you'll find that there are some out there that do it with a trailer as opposed to a 5th wheel. I found this one on the legality of the issue but if you look through it you'll find at least 1 member that does exactly what you're looking to do. Try dropping DJ a private message, you might get lucky and get the info you need. Obviously it can be done, you just need to find the right person to ask.
You will of course need to have a rear receiver welded to the hybrid, the bumpers and their mounting brackets are not up to the task.
