Good thing the boat launch surface wasn't wet and with an incline...might of been fun to watch the lightweight FWD Accord spin it's way into oblivion...trying to pull the boat and trailer out of the water.
It depends on the situation. In the early 90's a friend who was an avid fisherman had a small fishing boat that he towed with his early 90's front drive Olds Cutlass. He said it worked well on the ramps because he could keep his front wheels on the solid surface away from the slime.
A buddy had a 4WD Explorer, he used to tow his boat. He launched his boat at a dock and was parking Explorer and trailer, when a gu y with a FWD Plymouth Omni came up to him and asked him if he would mind, hitching up to his boat trailer and haul his boat out of the water, up the ramp and park it on flat ground. The Omni could launch and pull the boat/trailer on the flats...but he couldn't make it up the ramp. :B
Another guy I know had a FWD Buick Century. He used to hitch it to a guy's 4WD pickup...when it came time to hauling boat, trailer and car up the ramp. THis was a bigger boat.
