Do we know the capabilities and the weights here? Assuming its an Acura MDX, but heck if I know. They are rated for 5500 lbs, depending on the year.
No clue what kind of boat that is. OP suggested its possibly a 26 footer with an inboard engine. Perhaps someone can chime in and identify the boat and model... but a 26 foot deck boat can be as light as 4000ish lbs and higher.
The Acura is really meant to be a more luxury vehicle, not necessarily have a rigid suspension. All are assuming its overweight, but without any specific numbers, we don't know.
And yes, as long as everyone gets home safe that IS all that matters...
