We used to tow a 700 pound boat on a 200 pound trailer with a 1600 cc Datsun. It works.#5.......see them at boat launches all the time. After the 4th or 5th attempt they get our of their under powered car (Honda Civic or Hyundai) and look at the boat like it did them a dirty

If we are putting our boat in and they are in front of us we help them to get the line moving. If we are out and putting our stuff away it is nice entertainment after a nice day fishing.Been like that since I remember, nothing has changed
When I briefly lived as a kid in LongBranch a guy down the street had an Amphicar , he would show up at MarieCurtis park and blast down the launch ramp into the lake , completely freaked out the tourists . I thought it was the coolest thing I’d seen , maybe better than the bat mobile . Was a crap car and a worse boat , but still cool .

Marie Curtis Park was a good day's entertainment watching the novices. Haven't been there for a while.
One day a "Thurston Howell" type showed up to launch his trailer yacht, removing his socks, shoes and rolling up his his white yachting pants a few inches so he could help launch by standing on the gabion basket shelf the formed part of the bank.
Unfortunately the water level was such that there was nothing to stand on and he dropped in up to his neck. He never lost his cool stating, as he treaded water, "OK I've got the stern."

Good year for owning one of those blow jobbies.
Typically, I spent more on gas getting to and from the marina than I did boating.
Will people cut back or just apply for a higher CC limit?
Tough question when the cottage is deeper in the water than the boat.
It depends on how long Trump's wars last and that depends on how long Trump needs a diversion from Epstein Island. Long lasting gas price hikes have in past times made boat shows look like aluminum forests with few gas burners on site.
Then the flock realizes how much one needs to really know about the exchange of inputs between water, wind and how to point the pointy end towards where you want to be.
Single digit top speeds are the norm except for cats and America's Cup wanabees with double digit millions for the boat and many times that for the campaign.
Going for really big power boats, I wonder how fuel prices will affect shipping from China.
Good thing i use Jerry cans and fill at the local land station
