Vehicle to tow 1983 V20 with Yam 175
Anybody know the approximate weight of a 1983 V20 with a Yamaha 175 on a tandem trailer?
Can you pull it with a six cylinder van or do you need a V8 powered vehicle. Need to tow it about twenty miles to get some service done and I'm going to have ask friends or family to tow it for me. (I've got 4 cyl. vehicles) Really appreciate any input. KellerKid Richmond Hill, GA

You can but check the max towing capacity for the vehicle. I personally wouldn't want to tow with anything but V8.
Good luck! Blue

Re: Vehicle to tow 1983 V20 with Yam 175
I used to tow mine short distances with my V-6 4Runner. I should think you'll be okay IF you take it easy, don't expect any quick accelerations, and allow lots of room for stopping. But I wouldn't make a habit of it.

Re: Vehicle to tow 1983 V20 with Yam 175
I agree w/ the guys above ...a short trip like that won't hurt anything unless the shop is on top of a mountain...I'm fairly familiar w/ GA, but where is Richmond Hill?...
Mine; boat, motor and tandem trailer weighs in at 4700lbs...

Thanks everybody.
Richmond Hill is just south of Savannah. I'll probably ask a friend that has a Ford F-150 to tow it for me.
