I'd guess that the rear frame rail kick-ups would be the weak point.

I used to on occasion pull a 16 ft ski boat with an '84 Monte Carlo SS that had a peg-leg rear (non-posi). I was concerned about having problems pulling the boat out on a wet boat ramp but never had a problem. Happily I have since experienced the 2nd happiest day of boat ownership, SOLD IT! Sadly the Monte is also gone:(. Wasn't very fast but looked good and drove suprising well for what is was (was a med/dark blue one). Thought they looked pretty cool together, never thought to take a picture though. I think it would look cool to pull your water toy with you 4 wheel one!

LOL, sorry to resurrect this post, but I just read
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...iew/index.html and I was amused that this car can tow 4500+ lbs. Not a Porsche vs Camaro thread- just noted that and remembered the towing post. |

Just Do It !!!
I wanted a trailer hitch for my 2010 Camaro 2SS so I found one on the internet made by Curt Manufacturing, specifically for my vehicle & I installed it myself. Still need to install wiring harness for trailer lights. Have not used hitch yet. I will use it for a bicycle rack & for my Kendon 1 bike motorcycle trailer to transport my Harley Ultra Classic Electraglide.

That hitch receiver looks brilliant!
My only observation/suggestion as an experienced trailer boater is that the automatic transmission would be much easier to handle on the ramp than a manual. After thousands of tow miles and hundreds of launches and retrievals of a 4,600 pound boat trailer rig, I wouldn't hesitate to use an auto Camaro to trailer a light-weight wave-runner type "vessel". The only problem I can see is that you might forget that it is back there because it is so light!
