Mr. Nauti here - already did the research, we know the tongue weight on the boat is 525lbs. The F150 makes 425ft/lbs of torque and 375hp, BMW is 325ft/lbs and 300hp. If I installed airbags I think it would do it...now would I have the guts to sit on a boat ramp in a BMW /w 7000lbs behind me and a six speed? I am pretty good with a clutch, but I think that all goes out the window when there is water behind you.

Your ok. I pulled my stingray boat with a Camaro. I just used the boat to push the car out of the water and kept it going. Your ok. Katie in the boat captains call wide open and she tells hit it. I can see it already. Lol

I have so many stories about that car pulling that boat. 1984 mint Camaro z28 too. I wish I could find pictures. I think it was a 1984 boat with like 40 hours on it with the big 4cyl. 190 or something like that. Closed system. A7 help me here.

Why did I go there with you.
It was a Ford 460 cut in half. So it's half way big.

I used to pull a Jet Ski with a Honda Del Sol....in the Texas hill country. BMW and a ramp? Not even a challenge.
