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.
Yep. I've seen more than a few videos of RWD pickups in serious predicaments at the boat ramp. For me, I'll take 4WD on the boat ramp.
Me too. But isn't easier to get about 5 of your 200 lb. + buddies to add weight ballast over the 2WD pickup's rear drive wheels, by getting into the pickup bed....than having those same 200 pounders sit on the hood of your FWD Omni....in order to add weight to the front drive wheels ?
